    Stockholm syndrome is a proposed condition to explain why hostages occasionally develop a psychological bond with their captors. It is named after an attempted bank robbery in 1973, in Stockholm, Sweden

      My comment was in response to a comment about AmeriKKKans having “Stockholm Syndrome”, which as it turns out is not a real or valuable diagnosis. However, I do not disagree with the implied critique of AmeriKKKan people as being feckless and servile people.

        You lost me with thebrepeated “amerikkkan” thing.

        A: It completely undercuts the seriousness of your comment and makes the whole thing come off as a tirade by an edgy teenager.

        B: Jokes don’t get funnier every time you repeat them, it was mid the first time and eye roll worthy by the 3rd.

        I agree with your points, just sucks that you chose to present it in such a juvenile way.
