I saw this frequently in college. On the surface, most examples I'd seen were benevolent in their intent, but it doesn't take a genius to see how easily this could be abused or exploited.
There's a specific psychological term for how this can create an emotional vulnerability on the part of a person who feels aided, helped, or rescued. I want to say transference, but that doesn't look quite right when I read up on the definition.
Commies enforce/propagate through weaponized empathy, so that makes sense.
