Brazil is also heading to the polls today for a run-off vote that will decide who leads the country. The race is on a knife edge between incumbent left-wing President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and right-wing…
Reminds me of the quote from the antagonist in Far Cry 3.
Doing the same thing and expecting a different outcome.
Edit: just in case people think I’m blaming Brazilians. I’m not. Technofascists can eat dirt, but it’s Stockholm syndrome continuing to use their tools for communication.
It’s More so not being given an alternative then stalkholm syndrome, btw that is actually a made up term by police.
It was originally use to explain why hostages side with their agressers, making it a psychological problem rather then admitting that the kidnappers might have actually been making good points and the captives actually agreeing with them and cooperateing.

There are a ton of alternatives. Signal. Lemmy. Bluesky. Mastodon.
Just as examples…
Yes, and I’m not describing an actual human hostage situation so I think the term fits fine.
