    Feeling injustice is pretty universal. I don’t think it’s characterising autistic trait.

      i think you are missing how many people have stunted empathy in the world and how they tend to fall conservative in politics

        I thought, autistic folk have stunted empathy by definition? (they can’t reliably read other people’s emotions).

          so the autistic response if they have high enough function is to learn to fit in to avoid pain, they generally want to be apart of a functioning group

          whereby oddly becoming quite good at learned emotional response

          the difference is a sociopath in power feels no need to care or hide it

          you’d think society would care but as long as said person in power gives them someone to hate they get a pass
