Activism Delegitimization
Pattern number within this pattern set:
30 
Verbiage for pattern card:
Dissenters, especially those who are active in their dissent can be deligitimized in order to take away their ability to be taken seriously by the public. This is very effective when done thru mass media outlets. One very effective form of delegitimization is ridicule because it spreads easily and avoids actually examining the situation.
