Self delusion probably fits better since Stockholm Syndrome is most likely just bullshit code for, "the victim gained empathy for a person's terrible situation"

Eh, self delusion to weaken the blow of understanding you're stuck in a system that gas lights you into thinking you're just a temporarily embarrassed capitalist and not cattle is a mental defence mechanism.

There are still people who defend billionaires though, they might have Stockholm syndrome, or could just be really fucking stupid

I was born to really fucking stupid. Even love can't talk past Stockholm Syndrome in that dimension.

You can be fearless of even religious rhetoric garbage death and still be interrupted, insulted, and told that money matters with a sigil on not-paper showing you 9/11 like back to the future, chastized, suspended, and charmed with a statement of love despite stockholders syndrom basically nullifying the cognitive ability to do exactly that properly.

Because tone matters and Marauder Traditionless Mages who link to death are scary. Even though they're here to bring you "horror" Strange Aeons where even Death May Die.

Just look at that coast north of England and see Cthulhu's claw mark.

If I remember correctly, but don't quote me on this one, the OG Stockholmers after whoom the syndrome was named had this thing not so much because they had empathy for the bank robbers, as much as they had disempathy to the police because they were so utterly incompetent at their job

Ever wondered how cult members end up being brainwashed? It's just a more extreme version of the 'normal' propaganda we consume every day.

You are part of a group.

Your group wants you to think alike.

Conform to the group.

We read about cult members blindly following their leader and turn around, thinking 'this could never happen to me' . As if we all have not the same psychological weaknesses like they do. As if all media is not constantly feeding us how life should be lived, according to those in power.

I have never heard anyone refer to themselves as a capitalist.

The only people I've seen who refer to themselves as capitalists are people with capital that aren't wage slaves.

Yeah like billionaires, talking heads on FOX News, and the occasional neckbeard libertarian on the internet. But the average person doesn't go around identifying as a capitalist. In fact I'd go so far as to say most people don't even have an ideology.
