I came across this article from 2018 and it really spoke to me as a late-diagnosed autistic only just learning what “comfortable” feels like.

    I have seen this way to much. The idealistic philosophy that capitalists push tries to tell you that everything that ever happens to you is your doing and in your control. They try to keep your eyes off the bigger picture of what is happening and how each object in a environment interacts. If you play a board game that has dice with these people you will get a front row sit to see this in action. They completely lack the idea of just having fun and instead get really toxic and since they believe they have complete control over the world the idea that parts of the game being up to luck just doesn’t register in there mind. It gets worse when they bring those ideas into real life. When they see a poor person they think the poor person did this to them self even without knowing anything about the poor person. Anyone who does those type of things please do yourself a favor and look at the world as a many small pieces interacting and each playing a role that sums up to bigger events instead of just “the whole world is me” view. Also it isn’t just a nt thing. I have seen nt and nd’s with these views.
