Key Points

Correction as a Humiliation Ritual

Correction itself is not inherently wrong.
Abusive systems weaponize correction by publicly shaming individuals repeatedly instead of addressing issues privately and respectfully.
This public correction fosters fear and control, reinforcing power imbalances.

Ignoring as Punishment

Deliberate ignoring or social exclusion, especially when done repeatedly by a leader or authority figure, acts as a form of humiliation.
This tactic punishes dissent or feedback and sends a warning to others.
Control is maintained through silent treatment and invalidation.

Weaponizing Prayer

Prayer can be misused as a tool for humiliation by publicly disclosing private information.
Individuals may be subtly shamed through “prayers” that actually highlight faults or conflicts.
This manipulative use of spiritual rituals divides people and enforces control without accountability.

Prophecy Abuse

Similar to prayer, “prophetic words” can be exploited to manipulate or punish people under the guise of spiritual authority.
Often serves as a covert control mechanism.
