Is there something wrong with my interpretation of Stockholm Syndrome other than it is not the “natural interpretation”? Is it inconsistent with anything known about Stockholm Syndrome, how people interact, or how humans evolved?
Would we consider it surprising if humans did have a mechanism to try and emulate a “green beard” if having a green beard became essential for survival?
We know that some people find many green-beard-type reasons for attacking and even killing other humans. Race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender, and so on are all reasons for hating and even killing other humans. How do the victims prevent themselves from being victimized? Usually by obscuring their identity, by attempting to display the “green beard” the absence of which brings attack.
Stockholm Syndrome happens in a short period of time, so it is easier to study than the “poser” habits that occur over a lifetime. Is it fundamentally different, or is it just one point on a spectrum?
