Aimee, could you be a little more specific as to what precisely you posit the Dr. Alexander does "not see"? I rather think his vision in the matter is quite clear.
In one form or another we all were victims of crimes exercised through propaganda, threat, and coercion. Another dimension of the crime (neglected to specify previously), which arguably falls under the category of coercion, is bribery. Yes, the creeps in the medical and governmental positions who went along with the BS and profited from their complicity were technically victims in a sense. That does not assuage their guilt and culpability, IMHO.
But all this is essentially an "academic" concern in the worst sense at best. What is needed is to get on with the prosecution of crimes committed. The only definitions needed are those which the American legal system, when it operates properly, will have no big problem spelling out. I am positive that there are brave lawyers and prosecutors--who will need support from the public to carry through with their functions, but are nonetheless capable of executing justice.
Dr. Alexander thinks mass formation is “BS”. I think it is real, for many. It’s not an excuse. It’s just an observation of behavior. People don’t realize that psychology in the west is based on a very different philosophy than in Europe. Breggin and Desmet are from two different schools of thought. Both have merit.

Thanks for your reply! You seem like a good-hearted person.
I try to be! Just trying to navigate the madness, like everyone else here. 🙂
