There are hundreds of QTs from Nazis talking about how they were the smartest kids ever but the damn (((education system))) hampered them, and anyone who doesn't believe that they're hyper geniuses is simply a seething lib.
You're supposed to get over the "I was a gifted kid" stuff by the time you're 20.
Turns out I wasn’t gifted. I was just autistic and all the adults in my life liked to ascribe my failures to my autism, but were uncomfortable ascribing my successes to it. So I got called “gifted” and then judged when I couldn’t stay “gifted” because my support needs were explicitly made impossible to meet by a school system not designed for me.
Honestly, I’m sure a lot of the original post was just Smart Guy Syndrome, but there is indeed a good portion of the online Nazi/incel community that’s just white autistic men redirecting the alienation caused by living with ableism. I feel like a lot of the autistic community doesn’t wanna claim those dudes but like… they exist. It’s not helping anyone to ignore how ableism plays into their alienation and how white supremacy and patriarchy incentivize them to internalize the self hatred and make lashing out a part of their worldview.
