    You can compare anything with a simile if you abstract it far enough. It doesn’t make it an accurate statement, though. I’m sure you could find similarities between Bambi and Hitler, but that doesn’t mean the two are interchangeable.

    Stockholm Syndrome and cultural indoctrination are two different things. Stockholm Syndrome is a defense mechanism.

      Oh my god you actually included one explanatory sentence there at the end. Imagine if you built an entire argument.

          I hope it’s also all right to admit when I’m bored, because I think I’ve already given you far too many opportunities to press that “no, I’m correct” button you seem to enjoy so much.

            Scarabic I know it means nothing in this digital space but I’m siding with you. Eatyouwell admitted himself that you can make anything a simile if you abstract it far enough… and that’s what you did. It was a stretch of cognition but that doesn’t make it “wrong” it just means it’s not simple and easy like eatyouwell is claiming makes him correct
