Master suppression techniques

I found it quite worthwhile to ask GPT4o to give an english summary of the paper linked in the Wikipedia article, _Bekräftartekniker och motstrategier - sätt att bemöta maktstrukturer och förändra sociala klimat_, which translates to _Techniques of Suppression and Counterstrategies: Addressing Power Structures and Changing Social Climates_.

Recognizing and pushing back against the dark patterns of group dynamics is super important.

This is why it's important to recruit allies in social circles.

There is always someone in the group who gets away with this, mostly because no one challenges them on it.

Allies are important because as soon as they are challenged they almost immediately gaslight and manipulate their target.

IME most of this happens on accident.
