A place for for news, discussion, memes, and links criticizing capitalism and advancing viewpoints that challenge liberal capitalist ideology. That means any support for any liberal capitalist political party (like the Democrats) is strictly prohibited.

A zero-tolerance policy for bigotry of any kind. Failure to respect this will result in a ban.

RULES:

1 Understand the left starts at anti-capitalism.

2 No Trolling

3 No capitalist apologia, anti-socialism, or liberalism, liberalism is in direct conflict with the left. Support for capitalism or for the parties or ideologies that uphold it are not welcome or tolerated.

4 No imperialism, conservatism, reactionism or Zionism, lessor evil rhetoric. Dismissing 3rd party votes or 'wasted votes on 3rd party' is lessor evil rhetoric.

5 No bigotry, no racism, sexism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any type of prejudice.

6 Be civil in comments and no accusations of being a bot, 'paid by Putin,' Tankie, etc.

Wish they got some Lima syndrome.

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.

[–] 5wim@slrpnk.net 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] andyburke@fedia.io 1 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

I think you missed the point of the response and should look into the scientific evidence for Stockholm syndrome.

[–] 5wim@slrpnk.net 18 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

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.

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.

All of us: follow the science.

This thread: no, not like that!

Battered spouse syndrome may work.

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?

[–] LifeInMultipleChoice@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world -2 points 2 weeks ago

Jesse what the fuck are you talking about

[–] frezik@midwest.social 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's literally a concept described in this post.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Is the post a peer reviewed study?

No?

It's pop sci garbage.

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Do you exclusively interact with concepts described in a peer reviewed study?

[–] frezik@midwest.social 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I greatly prefer that anything related to mental health comes from peer reviewed studies, yes. Why don't you do the same?

[–] Cryophilia@lemmy.world -1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] frezik@midwest.social 2 points 2 weeks ago

What the fuck is wrong with you?
