What do you think of this thread's thesis - that a disproportionate amount of people on the autistic spectrum tend to subscribe to radical, reactionary, or syncreticist politics?
You mean that autistics tend to be more extremist? I already said that I believed this was true. Nobody who has voted has claimed to be mainstream.
But these are also only the people who post here in the political arena of the site. If you got people who were mostly apolitical (as much of the world is), you'd get much more mainstream and moderate responses. It's when one invests heavy time into looking into subjects that extreme responses are formed because of the nature of how ruined many aspects of society are due to poor policy and ill-conceived laws that have both become endemic to society but are still dregs on society (just, most people have learned to ignore it since they're not directly affected by it).
In hindsight, it would've been smarter to post this thread on the "General Autism Discussion" to get a more representative sample.
