The correlation between subjugation and isolation is a complex topic that has been studied extensively in the fields of
psychology
sociology
and political science.
At its core, subjugation refers to the act of dominating or controlling another person or group, while isolation refers to the state of being separated from others.
In many cases, subjugation can lead to isolation, as those who are being controlled may be cut off from social networks and support systems.
There are several ways in which subjugation can lead to isolation.
One of the most
common is through
physical isolation,
where individuals or groups are
physically separated
from others as a means of control.
This can take many forms, including imprisonment,
forced relocation, or even the use of solitary confinement.

Another way that subjugation can lead to isolation is through social isolation.
This occurs when individuals or groups are cut off from their social networks and support systems as a means of control.
This can take many forms, including:
limiting access to communication channels
such as phones or the internet
restricting access to information
or using propaganda to control what people think and believe.
A third way that subjugation can lead to isolation is through psychological isolation. This occurs when individuals or groups are made to feel alone and powerless through
psychological manipulation.

This can take many forms, including:
gaslighting (where an individual is made to doubt their own perceptions and memories),
brainwashing (where an individual's beliefs and values are systematically altered),
and other forms of psychological abuse.

In an abusive relationship,
submission can be a way
for the victim to avoid further harm.
They may feel that
if they comply
with their abuser's
demands,
they will be less likely
to experience
physical or
emotional violence.
However, this submission can also lead to a cycle of abuse where the victim becomes more and more dependent on their abuser.

Coercion can also play a role in abusive relationships. The abuser may use threats or force to make the victim comply with their demands.
This can include
physical violence
emotional manipulation
or financial control

isolation is another tactic that abusers use to maintain control over their victims.By cutting them off from their friends and family, the victim becomes more dependent on the abuser for emotional support and companionship. This can make it harder for them to leave the relationship and seek help.
