Look i get that actual resistance is scary and hard and often violent and thats extra scary; thats why im determined to stay in my bed posting until at least noon.

But wasting time and effort on collaboration with the dems just seems absurd. Like, how the fuck, in 2025, can anyobe still believe good could come from that?

    Stockholm syndrome and decades of underfunding the education system.

    Examinations of stockholm syndrome usually show it as pretty rational, or as much as things get in those situations, and come down to 'oh fuck oh fuck oh fuck, the cops are just gonna kill me, aren't they? You have a gun. Help.'

    Stolkhom syndrome itself is odd. I don't believe it's ever actually been categorized as a real mental state. (Could be wrong, almost 2 am and need to sleep)

    But it started as a term because of a hostage crisis in Stolkhom. The police (as usual) were fucking up, and causing more mayhem than what was needed. So the hostages felt safer in the arms of the people making demands, as they knew they were in a form of safer hands than the cops.

    The cops interpreted this as "clearly something has happened to the hostages" instead of doing any form of introspection of their actions, so they told the media one thing, and the media didn't double check some things, and now we have the term Stolkhom syndrome.
