    Imagine frequenting a bunch of "normal, orderly" places with "normal, orderly" people and seeing them with means to sustain themselves and have healthy lives. Now imagine then going out to regions with homeless people and noticing that most of them seem to be "crazy" or "weird." It made it very clear what the default path for me was.

    Besides that, being neurodivergent kinda forced me to start thinking on a social level really fast in order to be able to adapt. It's one thing to casually learn the backwards ways of society by "normal" means, another entirely to intentionally study them in order to replicate because you just don't get it. And being hyperfocused in history will turn any proletarian into a communist.
