Stockhole syndrome is a psychological phenomenon where lower or middle class citizens develop positive feelings and emotional bonds toward their upper class managers and abusers, often even defending them and their extravagant bonuses and tax breaks. The term is a mash of ‘stock’ and ´a-hole’ since most people with wealth use stocks to borrow money tax free and avoid paying their fair in taxes like the rest of us. The term originated from a 2026 conversation on imgur when it was suggested that if people that had less than 1b in wealth then disagreed with a one time wealth tax in california, they might be siding with tax-cheats, stock a-holes, and the 1%.
Jimmy the plumber thought his neighbor who owned half of the local town needed additional tax breaks from the government so that he could upgrade his 3rd yacht to be 300’ long; textbook case of stockhole syndrome.

I don’t have stockhole syndrome; I only make 50k a year but i’m worried that my taxes will be unfair if i start earning 10m a year.

Won’t someone please think of the billionaires!
