The Stockholm syndrome is when propaganda get people to believe a theory so strongly that even when all evidence and circumstance gets removed, even when it’s scientifically proven to not be true, even when direct facts contradict the stated propagada, people continue to believe the propaganda.
In a hostage situation, telling the government “stop trying to get us murdered” is not a mental illness. Being dissatisfied with the governments handling of the situation is not “siding with your captors because you’ve fallen in love with them” but people will to the end of times continue to believe these falls narratives because the government propaganda to discredit completely reasonable criticism was just that damn effective.
