Fun fact: the incident that “Stockholm Syndrome” is named after turns out to not actually be a case of Stockholm Syndrome. The hostages were only sympathetic towards the hostage takers because of the incredibly poor handling by authorities. One of the hostages was working on establishing a rapport with the hostage taker, but she was constantly undermined by aggressive tactics by the police, including reckless usage of guns that could have killed the hostages.
Whats that thing that happens where people begin to defend/ protect their kidnappers or abuser?
