Comment on We're all just in Stockholm Syndrome to whatever culture we were born into.

It’s alright to admit you were mistaken.

I hope it’s also all right to admit when I’m bored, because I think I’ve already given you far too many opportunities to press that “no, I’m correct” button you seem to enjoy so much.

Scarabic I know it means nothing in this digital space but I’m siding with you.

Thank you. I’m surprised by the amount of literalist nitpicking here. It’s as if I said “we’re all leaves on the wind” and people responded “ackshully that is not accurate as I am not in fact a leaf nor any part of a tree.”
I think the other part of it is that my simile may have been even more correct than I realized. People in this thread are avidly defending the fact that they’re not brainwashed. “No, me, never! I just really truly live my chosen values! Really really!”
Which sounds exactly like a Stockholm syndrome victim passionately declaring no, they aren’t brainwashed, they truly do side with their captor.
