        Huh? It’s the notion of captives forming a bond with their captors. People are using it to convey that simple psychological concept. It’s “usually” used for that purpose.

          I think you missed the point of the response and should look into the scientific evidence for Stockholm syndrome.

            I think it appears you’ve missed the point of my response, wherein the existence of “scientific evidence” for Stockholm Syndrome is unimportant; The phrase “Stockholm Syndrome” being a part of vernacular meant to convey the notion of captives forming bonds with their captors is helpful for communication irrespective of the existence or veracity of a psychological diagnosis related to the phrase. The point of their response was defeatism through judgment and their own superiority.

            syndrome
            a group of symptoms which consistently occur together, or a condition characterized by a set of associated symptom

            LGTM.

            Just grouping symptoms. Not implying the assumption of any cause.

            The problem arises when people start considering this one name to be good enough as a diagnosis.

        Just because something isn’t an academic term doesn’t mean it’s not a real concept.

        I haven’t seen any published scientific articles about you, are you sure you’re real?

                  I greatly prefer that anything related to mental health comes from peer reviewed studies, yes. Why don’t you do the same?

                    This is not related to mental health, you absolute turnip. It’s a post about class dynamics.

                    And also, even if we were talking about mental health, that’s fucking ridiculous. So you refuse to consider any hypothetical whatsoever?

                    Actually, as I type this I’m realizing you have all the markers of heavy autism, so it actually may be biologically impossible for you to consider these things.
