The Stockholm syndrome is defined as:
- The Stockholm syndrome is a psychological state in which the victims of a kidnapping, or persons detained against their free will - prisoners - develop a relationship with their captor(s). This solidarity can sometimes become a real complicity, with prisoners actually helping the captors to achieve their goals or to escape police.
People write about this like its magical and impossible to fathom, like with Patty Hearst and the SLA. But isn’t this, on some level, what happens to you whenever you work a job, or have a government, or are forced to sacrifice some element of your personal autonomy to anyone or anything?
