    I didn’t use that word, but if you look purely at results, there’s no difference between Stockholm syndrome and a willing participant until the deprogramming occurs. Especially if the propaganda had free access to undeveloped minds. You see in America how well it worked on boomers and older when it came to anti socialism and anti communism. The red scare still exists in their “firing fear on all cylinders” brains enough to take priority when talking about the most anti-socialist liberals in existence. The point is it’s effective and generates the desired behavior, even if it’s objectively evil.
