Supporting your oppressor = Stockholm Syndrome. Not a recipe for a meaningful existence. Consider the social and scientific advancements which were sidelined or repressed by the actions of the men who refused women the opportunity to excel. In a similar manner, adherents of Icke and Jones can easily fall under the sway of the reprehensible aspects of their respective perspectives without even realising it exists. Before you know it, you've become a skinhead with hair.
Bottom line: there are reputable sources available for any and all of the truely valuable information in the work of these two.
Barracuda!! I am SHOCKED that you are putting forth the notion that agreeing with a part and disagreeing with another part of what someone with no direct power over you says is tantamount to Stockholm Syndrome! That is just so.. simple minded. What of the men, then, that agreed with their sexist contemporaries ? I suppose they are not victims and therefore not subject to the accusation of having Stockholm Syndrome?
Should the world have shunned the inventions of Thomas Edison or Nikola Tesla, or Alexander Graham Bell? The discoveries of Newton? Of Darwin? The theories of Plato, Socrates, Epicurus?
And secondly - do I sound like someone who would become a skin head? Are you really suggesting that exposure to viewpoints makes someone (adults in particular) susceptible to believing them?
