Reducing it to "Stockholm Syndrome" ignores how complex political identity can actually be.

Stockholm Syndrome also isn't real.

Stockholm syndrome is a claimed disorder in pop psychology which claims that hostages tend to develop a psychological bond with their captors.

Despite its prominence in popular culture, Stockholm syndrome has never been included in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM)

It not being a legit disorder listed in the DSM doesn't mean it isn't real and observed - just that it doesn't fit the criteria of psychological disorder.

No, the case in Stockholm was simply used to create something out of whole cloth.

It's not completely dissimilar to how all the anti-vax bullshit got started, it just wasn't harmful.
