Psychological oppression

Psychological oppression refers to the systematic use of psychological tactics to control or manipulate individuals or groups, often leading to feelings of powerlessness, fear, or inferiority. It can manifest through social norms, discrimination, propaganda, or coercive practices that undermine a person's self-worth and mental well-being. This form of oppression affects how people think about themselves and their place in society, limiting their ability to express themselves or pursue their goals. Ultimately, psychological oppression seeks to maintain dominance by instilling doubts and insecurities in those being oppressed.
