Stockholm Syndrome is a psychological phenomenon where “hostages or abuse victims bond with their captors and abusers.” This bonding can occur over days, weeks, or months of captivity and abuse. Rather than being terrorized by their captors, hostages sympathize with them, developing positive feelings, sharing common goals and causes, and essentially falling in love with their captors.
The story behind the Stockholm Syndrome is a 1973 six-day hostage event in a Swedish bank. By the second day, “the hostages were on a first-name basis with their captors, and they started to fear the police more than their abductors.” By the end of the hostage crisis, “the convicts and hostages embraced, kissed and shook hands.”
A modern-day version of the Stockholm Syndrome is playing out after over a year of COVID captivity. Americans have been held hostage by medical czars like Dr Anthony Fauci, totalitarian governors named Cuomo, Newsom, Whitmer, Murphy, and Wolf, and big media, including cable news giants CNN, MSNBC, and Fox News.
Americans have been held hostage in their homes for months, told not to wear masks, then to wear one, then two, now none. We were assured that that a BLM protest of thousands is perfectly safe while a family wedding, funeral, or a Trump rally is a super spreader event. An experimental, non-FDA approved vaccine is being mandated for everyone, including children at extremely low risk from getting sick from COVID, yet at the government agencies pushing vaccinations, they don’t know how many of their own employees have said no to the vaccine, perhaps as many as half.

We always think humans learn from history not to trust the government, the “experts” and the media as much as they do, but many of us don’t learn our lessons. It is as plain as day that so many of those who rule or try to influence us are brazen liars or promulgators of wrong information.
I prefer to think of those suffering from the ChiCom Plague Stockholm Syndrome as those that hate freedom and liberty. Drop the psycho-babble and use the single word that fits: enemy.
Good news is you’ll know the lefttards in your community right away. Perhaps over time the “mask segregation” will encourage leftist thugs to move out of majority Patriot areas.
There is no shame in still wearing a mask.
HAHAHA! Just kidding.
There is no shame, but it does reflect on your intelligence and ability to process information accurately.
I don’t know about all the rest of the country but here, in the belly of the DemocRAT beast in central Maryland, I see the phenomenon. On Sunday I went to Costco and was among the very small minority who were maskless. The percentage of Maryland adults over age 18 who have at least the first COVID-19 dose was 69.9% on Sunday. Costco had signs saying “MASKS NOT REQUIRED FOR CUSTOMERS WHO ARE VACCINATED— WE DON’T ASK IF YOU ARE. They don’t ask? Hell, vaccinated or not I wouldn’t be putting a mask on in the store. These people are all brainwashed to a degree that’s scary.
Yesterday Maryland advanced to having 70% vaccinated. I may be wrong but I expect the Governor to announce the removal of “all” mandatory mask restrictions today. And I bet this cesspool of DemocRATS to still be masking up.
Yesterday morning on the way to our Memorial Day remembrance event, I saw a family of four plus dog out for a walk. At least both the parents were wearing masks. This in a suburb with no one anywhere near them, except passing by in cars a good ways away. I found this just sad.
Now, I was encouraged when I got to the outdoor event, as almost no one was wearing masks, 2-3% at most.
I am convinced by the data we are at herd immunity here in the U.S.
More like a cult.
Combined General and Coronavirus PING!
Hogan removed the mask mandates on May 15.
“ Hogan removed the mask mandates on May 15.”
********************************************************
Well, he removed most of them. Some of THE MOST EGREGIOUS MANDATES remain. IMHO, what they are subjecting our impressionable children to is CRIMINAL.

“…In alignment with CDC guidance, face coverings will still be required on public transportation, and in schools, child care and health care settings….”
We’ve concluded that the people who have been “vaccinated” are the ones still wearing the masks.
Man pretending he is God.
I think you’re likely largely right on that when it comes to the leftists who are vaccinated.. It’s insane.
This is far worse that Stockholm Syndrome. This is cultism. These people haven’t just bonded with their “captors”, they ran and begged to lick the boots of those stomping on them. They hate those who don’t adore their masters and follow their every word.
People talk a good talk, but when it hits the fan most aren’t prepared and immediately look to the government (or others) to save them.
In some places, the law requires masks for the unvaxed.
So, follow the law or not? One can break the law, or one can follow the law.
Like speed limits, do you drive 45 in a 30?
Don’t like the law, change it.
Or simply mass civil disobedience.
But why is it only on the easy stuff like masks and speed limits? Most don’t have the fortitude to break overreaching gun laws.
Michael Malice is wrong about lots of things, but correct on many others.
Thanks.
As best I can tell, no doctor/scientist yet has done a study of the psychological damage done by constant mask wearing.
Japan, for example, was huge on mask wearing long before the China Virus. They have suffered from a massive depopulation, in part caused by an utter horror by young people of dating and marriage, especially among young men (”hikikomori” or “isolated” or “sequestered one”) who don’t even come out of their rooms/apartments for YEARS.
I suspect much of this has to do with the masks-—that when you cannot see people’s full faces, they are dehumanized, but so are you.
I say let them wear the masks. In my state roughly 50% of people are vaccinated. Our generous governor has decided to allow those who are vaccinated to remove their masks.
I’d say roughly 60% of people in stores are still wearing masks. I’d also guess many of those not wearing masks have not been vaccinated.
If 90% of people were walking around without masks the governor might eventually catch on and realize his generosity is being abused an lock us down again.
The people afraid to take off their masks provide cover for everyone else. As long as the percentage of people without masks is at or below the percentage vaccinated he will leave us alone,.
You need to research how laws are made. As far as I know, not one state legislature proposed a mask law, debated and voted on it for the governor to sign.
In every case, lawless governors just write “executive orders” and called them laws. Citizens are not subject to executive orders. State employees are.
Please refrain from improper use of the word Law.
