    I don’t think anyone knows what Stockholm Syndrome is, as it’s just a concept and isn’t recognized as real because it’s usually just used as a blanket term thrown around when people don’t actually know what the specific underlying issues are.

      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.

            Even in that context, it’s not really a thing. It’s something that happened once and had a name attached to it. That’s it. The rest is pop science garbage.

              The concept of Stockholm syndrome accurately describes these “capitalist” workers. Stockholm syndrome passing scientific rigor has no relevancy to this discussion.

                    Let me phrase it this way. All black people are thieves. < - incorrect statement. Now, if someone says my calculator was stolen, it has to be a black man, we would call that racist. Your argument says it doesn’t matter if all black people are thieves is scientifically proven, just so long as the concept that enough people believe it to be true, we should continue to use the terminology. “It doesn’t have to be right, so long as we all understand what they were trying to say”

                    Sure that’s fine in a casual conversation sometimes, but when you’re trying to convince the majority of the world they are living most every facit of their life in a way they shouldn’t, it discredits the foundation of your statement.

          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?

        Alright. Autism is caused by vaccines then. Just because enough people believes something exists doesn’t make something real. Humans do grow attached to people they are in proximity to. It has nothing to do with being the person holding you there.

        No, it’s not a real thing at all. It’s completely pop science that has no justification.

                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.
