Whose truth are being silenced by whom?

How to create your own truth? Use fear, anger and hate.

Truth is silenced when powerful individuals or institutions suppress dissenting voices through censorship, discrediting, and intimidation, or when people silence themselves and others to avoid discomfort or conflict. Truth-tellers may be attacked, called names, or face formal disciplinary action for expressing views that challenge established beliefs. Conversely, people may choose not to face difficult truths due to fear of judgment or social pressure, while denialism can be driven by self-interest, religion, or psychological defense mechanisms.

How Truth is Silenced

Censorship and suppression: Authoritative entities or societal pressures can formally censor or discipline those who challenge collective sentiments or accepted beliefs. 
Discrediting truth-tellers: Individuals can be labeled as liars, lunatics, or social deviants to undermine their credibility. 
Attacking credibility: Perpetrators may attack the credibility of victims or truth-tellers to prevent their narratives from being heard. 
Promoting forgetting: The systematic promotion of forgetting can effectively silence inconvenient truths, especially in the aftermath of events or conflicts. 
Fear of consequences: People may fear rejection, judgment, or disappointment from society, family, or peers, leading them to hide or ignore the truth. 
Self-silencing: Individuals may internally silence themselves or discourage others from speaking out to avoid facing discomfort or cognitive dissonance. 

Who Silences Truth

Institutions and Authorities: Powerful organizations, governments, or institutions can use their authority to suppress viewpoints that contradict their established beliefs or interests. 

Society and Social Groups: Peer pressure, family expectations, and societal norms can create an environment where people feel compelled to suppress or ignore truths that are socially inconvenient. 
Denialists: Individuals who deny reality despite evidence can silence truth by refusing to acknowledge it. 
Self-Interest: Economic, political, or financial self-interest can motivate individuals and groups to suppress truths that threaten their advantages. 

Why Truth is Silenced

Protecting the Psyche: People may use denial as a defense mechanism to protect themselves from mentally disturbing facts or ideas. 
Maintaining Control: Silencing truth can be a tactic used by those in power to maintain social control and prevent challenges to their authority. 
Avoiding Cognitive Dissonance: Confronting challenging facts can cause internal conflict and discomfort, a state known as cognitive dissonance. 
Fear of Change: New or difficult truths often challenge existing systems and beliefs, leading to fear and a resistance to change that can manifest as silence or denial.
