Reminder that the term Stockholm Syndrome was coined to blame victims for being rightly more afraid of the police than their captors:
Otherwise, we probably agree that AmeriKKKans are a feckless, servile people.
Mod note: Do not make personal attacks towards this user, lest I have to slap more knuckles with a ruler. You can engage with the critique respectfully, or it's π time.
Wow, lots of π around here.
?
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.
You lost me with thebrepeated "amerikkkan" thing.
A: It completely undercuts the seriousness of your comment and makes the whole thing come off as a tirade by an edgy teenager.
B: Jokes don't get funnier every time you repeat them, it was mid the first time and eye roll worthy by the 3rd.
I agree with your points, just sucks that you chose to present it in such a juvenile way.
So you disagree with the tone and not what I'm saying? Because if so, that sounds like a "you" problem, i.e. you're more interested in the tone of a message than its content.
It's not a joke and it's not supposed to be funny. I genuinely hate the USA and everything it stands for.
Man you really need to work on your communication if you ever want anyone to listen to you.
This is very much so a you problem because you're not going to get far acting like this to people who agree with you.
No I'm pretty sure you're a liberal, right? We probably do not agree almost at all. See this video for more information.
Being "slightly less than servile to AmeriKKKan sensitivities while anarchist" is not being "a tankie".
Pls entertain my curiosity: Usually the term ("AmeriKKKa" and variants) marks someone as a Maoist, from what I know. I think it came from those circles. Do you know? Curious where folks pick this stuff up. I think it's pretty hilarious, my father had the KKK burn a cross on his lawn in Mississippi, back in the day apparently,* so I do not take a lot of offence to the critique. I just assume everyone that uses it is a Maoist lol.
* He was a lawyer that took on cases from non-whites, I think this was the 1960-70s. We're from the NE, so we don't play like that.
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" π.
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.
That's fair. If you like the Black Panthers and Anarchism, find the podcast Colonial Outcasts on YT (look in linktree attached). One of the duo works with them and they are both ex-spec ops anarchists. The other led the veterans boat with Greta to Gaza this summer: https://linktr.ee/greg.j.stoker They have some interesting perspectives.
Edit: This is really worth the watch - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utYFSBksHUs
Lol
i dont think STOckholm syndrome applies to a large population. brainwashing, propagandization is what its called.
Nils Bejerot was a total hack. He tried to ban comic books, and later transcribed that same energy in a war on drugs that has resulted in some of the worst health outcomes for drug users in Europe. Unfortunately his ability to be confidently incorrect swayed a lot of gullible rubes, and his legacy still casts a shadow over Sweden to this day.
whoa! so edgy, poignant, and relevant!
and so creative!
amazing!
*and everyone clapped*
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?
i never thought iβd find myself agreeing with a turd collector but here we areβ¦
Yeah I hope I get the mental help I obviously need...oh no wait I'm in the US so no I won't
Oh well
Unfortunately I have a terminal case of CBA (can't be arsed)
Fine, just do Ctrl+F, replace each instance of AmeriKKKa with {insert preferred term for the United States}, and move on with your life. Like I'm not even trying to get you to say it, I'm just saying it. It's almost like you have a problem with what I'm saying and not just how I'm saying it...
iβm not reading anything else youβre writing, i stopped at the first AmeriKKKa
