Its human nature to be very us vs them. Everyone has an "other" they would rather see removed or oppressed. The most inclusive person ever wouldn't mind Nazis being removed if only for purely rational reasons.
What I'm saying is your "us and them" is the most Neurotypical thing to do.
Spends entire conversation talking about how they're so much better than normies because they don't do irrational things
Proceeds to justify elitism with irrationality
It doesn't mean it's good and that we shall just embrace it and kill each other for minor differences.
It seems you misunderstood me - I don't mean "autistic people are more into this mentality", but rather "surprisingly, despite suffering from exclusions out of neurotypical society, many autistic people support this kind of thing when the roles reverted". Hope it makes sense!
