Must be some variant of Stockholm syndrome
"fun" fact, Stockholm syndrome doesn't exist. it comes from the fact that some of the hostages in a particular situation felt that the police constantly attempting to escalate were a greater threat to their safety than the people who took them hostage, and wanted them to just negotiate instead of repeatedly trying and failing to do swat-style raids of the building. this perfectly reasonable reaction couldn't be allowed to be presented in the media, so they made up a fake psychological condition to explain it
I've never heard that before. Do you have source/s so we can learn more about this?
Edit. Autocorrect
I don't have a good source myself, I heard it secondhand from someone who was citing an interview with one of the hostages, but I wouldn't know where to find it
Not sure who downvoted you, but at least votes mean nothing on Lemmy.
Anyway. I think I found something on the topic, if you're interested
I think it's more akin to indoctrination. "You, too, can be independently wealthy if you work hard enough. Just look at these very ~~ab~~normal billionaires!"
