Might also have something to do with many of us burgers tending to have a really strong sense of justice. Pointed at right direction that's a powerful motivator to go against all perceived wrongs, in the autistic lacking self regulation way. Which can be quite extreme
People often equate justice with revenge. They want people to suffer for offences, real or perceived, that they've committed. The American so-called criminal justice system is all about revenge. It's about locking people up and making them suffer awful living conditions as punishment instead of trying to better them.
Yeah but perceived wrongs and actual wrongs aren't necessarily the same. I've met plenty of autistic folks who are far more Musk than Thunberg
That's why I included the "pointed at right direction" lmao. A lot of people are jerks and that applies to all groups
