Perceived Act of KINDNESS (Parameter #2 of the Stockholm Syndrome)

The second parameter of the Stockholm Syndrome is the perceived act of kindness. The abuse only works when the target gets periodically dosed with actions that are perceived to be good. Abusers use intermittent reinforcement (the sweet-mean cycle of reward and punishment) in order to get the target to work harder for the reward, to invest more in the relationship or situation, and to develop an obsession with compliance. The intermittent reinforcement over time causes Cognitive Dissonance, a state of inner conflict in which the target's mind spits into the part that knows they're being abused and the other part that really wants to believe the abuser has good intentions or that they'll "get back to the good times". In society we saw people push away real and rational evidence because their mind wanted to believe in the good of their leaders who would never lie or deceive them. We saw people wanting to "get back to normal" so they continued to comply with increasingly degrading and destructive demands for compliance.
