Angel (She/They)What’s the actual reason neurodivergent people are sometimes discriminated against or bullied?
DevolutionGuy, it’s simple. Human nature is to ostracize what is different. You know, social hierarchy and all that shit. I don’t get why you don’t get it.
That said, it’s deplorable and needs to change.
ComradeSharkfuckerThat’s not human nature that’s the product of a society that demands conformity, hierarchy, and defines community through exclusion. You wouldn’t say its in a coal miner’s nature to have black lung.
Edit: Hold on you might have been being sarcastic idk I’m in this thread for a reason lmao
No. Not being sarcastic. You’ve got to look at it from a historical context. Liberalism and tolerance are relatively newer concepts.
Liberalism yeah but tolerance has existed for as long as humans have formed community. I’d argue that prejudice and bigotry, in the way we experience them today and at the scale we see today, are far newer.
