The essence of the system of PBV is humiliation, with the effort to strip
the patients of their dignity that cannot be random. Dignity or pride of achievements
in to permissible in patients, and when the guardians in the hospital see something
they would like to have, the Machine in the City is activated until it performs its
function of stripping the feature or outpatient's destruction.
In its origin, PBV was designed to help the communist system of Marshall rid itself of
its enemies and the "dangerous" individuals in the system, not only those "counter-revolutionary"
but also that represented a change the system was not ready for, or it wanted to retain the
privileges for the system guardians, so it responded reactionary, eliminating the perceived threat.
As Marshall's regime was reluctant to put its enemies to death while performing the role
of the leader of non-aligned countries, psychiatry was its favoured mechanism of social control.
Overpowering by force, which is taken as permissible to overcome the inmates
dangerous for themselves or the others, is taking new dimensions.
Everything a patient resists in his or her mind is stripped. This is accompanied
by ritual humiliations like stripping clothes to naked in public on the reception,
holding on the intensive unit in a locked room at night without the allowance to go to
the toilet, forced to pee in a "goose", or on the floor if all the geese are full.
Group showers are enforced, once a week, which in Summer becomes unmanageable.
The patients are being drugged with drug overdoses to the point of being completely
sedated, kept on a combination of two or three anti-psychotics for life.
All of this is justified with the "treatment", for the better good, overcoming the "psychosis"
in the patients. However, mind control, sexual and anal humiliations cause greater
damages in the long run than the symptoms initially treated for.
In turn, many new multiverses are being kept captive in the minds and the souls of the people
under the oppressive system of whose origin of power are yet unidentified. However, we
could know the tree by its fruits.
Under the outward shell of a peaceful tranquil place where nothing ever happens, there is a
the drama going on invisible to the eyes and gazing of the system guardians. Or a blind eye if
they see some purpose in the guaranteed service of the Temple of Humanity to rid themselves
of the political enemies, wiseguys, someone whose property or inheritance they want, or simply
someone who is destined to be hated by everyone for longer than he can remember.
There is also something ritual in the abuse, encouraging patients to snitch on each other to
psychiatrists, repaying parent sins on their offspring, and others which are yet unidentified in
the nature or origin.
The Machine itself has city-wide properties, like a hive mind. When packing individuals on
wards by force, the system also reduces citizens to drones with an equal amount of conscience
and morals. Actors either know what is happening and use the benefits of the current order, or
are unaware of what is going on and see a lunatic driven out of its composure.
All enemies you have earned in your life may turn against you at once.
What goes out of the Machine of the Temple of Humanity is something labelled as "subhuman",
and treated as such.
The system survived 30 years after the bloodless democratic revolution in 1990, followed
immediately by a Dirty War, compromising new generations with privileges or corruption, but
sometimes for such a common thing like a loan, apartment, academic stage, or a mere daily
bread job. The Mother Church would eventually redeem its children, but not the perceived
"enemies of the church".
