Of course it is, but the comment is LLM-derived drivel.
213·2 个月前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.
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.
Why doesn’t the larger Nicole-Fed simply eat the smaller one?

No matter what anyone says, you’re worth more than your productivity. And “deserves” is a “spook,” as Stirner would say. Everyone deserves nothing and everything, it’s always a matter of perspective. Almost everything is, meaning either almost everything is irrelevant opinion, or opinions are relevant and we can/must decide which to have.
I don’t believe it is actually helpful to proselytize nonviolence. I appreciate your position and your contribution, and your experiences have value independent of the validity of your assertions about nonviolence writ large.
I’ve left links to full books at the bottom of this comment. Here is a quote from the introduction to the first:
Nonviolence has lost the debate. Over the last 20 years, more and more social movements and rebellions against oppression and exploitation have broken out across the world, and within these movements people have learned all over again that nonviolence does not work. They are learning that the histories of purported nonviolent victories have been falsified, that specific actions or methods that could be described as nonviolent work best when they are complemented by other actions or methods that are illegal and combative. They are learning that exclusive, dogmatic nonviolence does not stand a chance at achieving a revolutionary change in society, at getting to the roots of oppression and exploitation and bringing down those who are in power.
At best, nonviolence can oblige power to change its masks, to put a new political party on the throne and possibly expand the social sectors that are represented in the elite, without changing the fundamental fact that there is an elite that rules and benefits from the exploitation of everybody else. And if we look at all the major rebellions of the last two decades, since the end of the Cold War, it seems that nonviolence can only effect this cosmetic change if it has the support of a broad part of the elite—usually the media, the wealthy, and at least a part of the military, because nonviolent resistance has never been able to resist the full force of the State.
