@jepyang i can kind of see how people arrive at this framework, it’s so easy to see how so many people seem to lack any kind of actual moral compass when it comes to how they actually act, and completely contradict the things they say they believe as soon as it suits them, and go “those damn neurotypicals with their lack of justice sensitivity”, but i’ve also seen lots of people embody the other extreme in a bad way and be super dogmatic and unable to even consider that they might be wrong about some things, or that different people might have different perspectives. And while those behaviors do tend to correlate with neurotypicals for the first one and autistic people for the second one, i think those don’t 100% align and there’s often other factors, such as people’s upbringing and environment.

something i’ve been noticing more and more, and which i am feeling increasingly uneasy about, is how neurodivergent folks roughly on the left routinely assign virtue to neurodivergence and especially autism. -
Noam Chomsky is one of those people that some people will defend reflexively without even thinking.@artemis honestly i’m not surprised at all, considering how i already knew he did genocide denial, another sign that he lacks any kind of moral compass that i can accept. I think that this culture of treating theorists as figures to be basically worshipped inevitably leads to this kind of shit and is irreconcilable with anarchism.
