There are many characteristics you could have chosen to blame for his behavior: his white supremacy, misogyny, or fascism for example. All choices. But instead of focusing on his privilege or his privileged choices, you focus on his neurotype. That's the same hierarchical thinking that got us here.

If you're at additional risk due to your skin color, religion, sexuality, disability, or economic situation, you do you friend. I'm focused here on the people who might be okay if they said nothing. Not those who are at risk no matter what.

Not to mention the hundreds of other extra-judicial “deportations” to El Salvador and Guantanamo Bay.
