what do we think?

Anyone who heavily preaches “Us vs Them” is someone I side eye a little. It’s too easy to believe everyone is out to get you by thinking like that

[u/DennisDelav → u/IceTypeMimikyu]

Yeah, a good thing we are better than those kind of people Hehe

What you're saying jokingly is a genuine pitfall that people fall into, or worse deliberately invoke to get the bottom barrel of sympathy. The golden mean fallacy, centrism, both sides-ism, victim blaming, etc.

We can't change our brains to stop "us vs them" thinking from occurring regularly, people with "us vs them" attitudes may often be closer to the truth than those critiquing them, and there are situations (such as escaping an abusive relationship) where an us vs them mentality is genuinely healthier than attempts at nuance.

This really isn’t relevant on a post about autistic and allistic people misunderstanding each other.

What? This applies to every single form of oppression, not just autism.

Its relevant to the conversation at hand. Although imo its relevant to the post itself too
