im often misunderstood as "autistic" but thats not the case. similarly "right wing." but i am widely hated by the left nevertheless. i believe the issue is the following. the professional/managerial class is characterized by oversocialization. by this i refer to dennis wrong's notion of former individuals who have so thoroughly adopted approved social norms that they no longer behave independently of those norms nor see them as a tool but uncritically as ends in themselves. famous mathematician kaczynski discusses this at length. "autistic" and "right wing" people are not oversocialized nor even properly socialized. "right wing" people as imagined by the bien pensant are essentially undersocialized and have spent their lives excluded from circles inhabited by the right minded. a "right winger" rejects the prevailing norms in the same way a cradle atheist struggles to relate to the notion of religious belief. "that's retarded," he says. "autistic" people meanwhile are congenitally incapable of the sort of socialization necessary for the oversocialized class. some will desperately attempt to ape it through systematic study but will inevitably stumble in its contradictions and be brutally savaged by the natural adept. i fall into neither category actually. i am quite well socialized and i understand the rules. but they chafe me so. in the same way many are obliged to fall in line with them i find myself compelled to subvert them, to probe their contradictions, and especially to annoy people who insist that i follow them. this is a greater social crime than committed by the "right winger." he is an enemy yes but be reasonable. for him to have a bad opinion was mere misbehavior, tradition, he didn't know any better. and it is a greater crime than committed by the autist who may find the rules annoying but cannot ably operate within them and so is at a disadvantage. james damore was destroyed as an example but i doubt much feeling was behind it. his cancellation struck me as mechanical. μῆνις is reserved for traitors and apostates.
