Is there a specific term that describes attempting to manipulate somebody into black and white thinking? It seems like a pretty common tactic of abusers, but I'm not sure that I've ever heard it specifically described as a concept?
It involves gaslighting, but also forcefully coercing somebody into taking an action or making a decision.
An example would be saying something like "you're either with us or against us," where you are being coerced into believing that you must make a decision, and that whatever decision you make must be one of several predetermined outcomes laid out before you by somebody else.
Or, like Bernard William's critique of utilitarianism/the thought experiment of John and Pedro. It's meant to emphasize agency and moral integrity over utilitarian outcome, but is there a psychological term for the attempt of one individual to strip away another individual's agency and integrity?
