    Yes they will absolutely fuck you on it IF they even allow it at all.

    You know, in the spirit of “free markets” and all that bull shit.

    Reminder that the term Stockholm Syndrome was coined to blame victims for being rightly more afraid of the police than their captors:

    In [Jess Hill’s] 2019 treatise on domestic violence See What You Made Me Do, Australian journalist Jess Hill described the syndrome as a “dubious pathology with no diagnostic criteria”, and stated that it is “riddled with misogyny and founded on a lie”; she also noted that a 2008 literature review revealed “most diagnoses [of Stockholm syndrome] are made by the media, not by psychologists or psychiatrists.” In particular, Hill’s analysis revealed that Stockholm authorities, responded to the robbery in a way that put the hostages at greater risk from the police than from their captors (hostage Kristin Enmark, who during the siege was granted a telephone call with Swedish Prime Minister Olof Palme, reported that Palme told her that the government would not negotiate with criminals); as well, she observed that Bejerot’s diagnosis of Enmark was made without ever having spoken to her.

    Otherwise, we probably agree that AmeriKKKans are a feckless, servile people.

    Do you know? Curious where folks pick this stuff up.

    I do know that Maoists use it, but I think I picked it up when I read about some Black Panthers using it (I mean they probably were Maoists). And also I started doing this when some snarky shitlibs were like “oh you shouldn’t say ‘America’ because Central America is ‘America’” so I’m just like “then I guess we’re doing this now” 😆.

    I’m an anarchist so of course not a Maoist, but I absolutely do not disagree with Maoists about the particular issue of America not being a good thing. Sorry if I’m being a bit annoying but this stuff is super important me, i.e. it’s important to have a good understanding of recent history.

    Being “slightly less than servile to AmeriKKKan sensitivities while anarchist” is not being “a tankie”.

    My comment was in response to a comment about AmeriKKKans having “Stockholm Syndrome”, which as it turns out is not a real or valuable diagnosis. However, I do not disagree with the implied critique of AmeriKKKan people as being feckless and servile people.

    AmeriKKKa is a settler-colonialist project, and the entity and its defenders deserve zero respect. I mentioned AmeriKKKans because the person I replied to used Stockholm Syndrome to critique AmeriKKKans on a post critiquing the AmeriKKKan healthcare system, so critiquing AmeriKKKa is relevant here. And I don’t like spelling AmeriKKKa as part of USA correctly because (1) places like Central America and South America should be distinguished from the United States of AmeriKKKa, and (2) it offends the people who need to be offended, i.e. people who still feel affinity for the AmeriKKKan project and people who tone-police others who are just brutally honest in speaking their minds.

    You are literally posting from an anarchist Lemmy instance, why TF is this controversial to you?
