Stockholm syndrome is a fake condition invented on the spot, with no supporting scientific evidence or other basis, by the person most responsible for a particular incident of excessive police violence unnecessarily endangering hostages to leverage misogyny to discredit criticism of that event.
It being cited by advocates of increased violent policing as an explanation as to why the people who would be subject of that policy don’t support it is…perfectly on-brand.
This is a good point. I tried to use it in the more popular sense of "becoming over-accommodating to forces that are inherently against your interests," but there is an interesting psychological lens to view that argument from.
My one point of contention is that I didn't advocate for more violence, or even policing. I didn't advocate for anything at all! The comment was meant to frame the underlying topic without proposing a solution.
