Neurodivergent individuals, while often exceptionally skilled at detecting manipulation and social games, frequently find such behavior emotionally intolerable and mentally taxing. It’s not a matter of naivety or introversion , but of principle : a deep-rooted preference for sincerity over performative or deceptive interaction. This helps explain, in part, the rise of figures like the current politicians , who bypass polished rhetoric in favor of blunt, unfiltered communication even when that communication is deeply controversial. The appeal isn’t necessarily about endorsing their messages , it’s about the sheer relief of hearing something that doesn’t insult your intelligence. Personally, when someone tells me, ‘I’ll fuck you up,’ I have a strange kind of respect not because I admire aggression, but because at least I know where I stand. They spoke their truth without insulting my intelligence and I will be speaking mine . There’s no mask, no passive-aggressive performance just raw, unfiltered clarity. In a world saturated with scripted narratives and veiled agendas, many neurodivergent people don’t merely crave honesty they require it. They’d rather confront an uncomfortable truth than be pacified with a socially acceptable lie. That’s why traditional political language, full of euphemism, platitudes, and pretension, often feels more alienating than persuasive

Common decency, respect and decorum is much more effective to my ears. I don’t need vile, vulgar street language to get the message. Public figures speaking plainly without cursing or threatening violence get their message across to their audience just fine.✌️
I completely agree decorum and respect absolutely matter. My point wasn’t to celebrate vulgarity, but more about the value of politicians being direct and transparent about their intentions. What’s truly harmful is the polished deception the rhetoric crafted to manipulate rather than inform. People are still recovering from having been unwilling enablers in past wars that were sold as humanitarian missions, when in reality, they were driven by geopolitical strategy and resource interests. Just ask any war veteran
If you were a soldier sacrificing your life for your country you would have appreciated to be told the blunt truth instead of sacrificing years of your life just to find out you were scammed into becoming the exact thing you were trying to fight , resulting life long disillusionment and cognitive dissonance to someone who initially had the bravest and most honorable intentions , the damage on people who were lied to is lifelong , wether you’re an empathetic citizen or a soldier , and looking back you would have appreciated bluntness so you know where you stood
True. Took me over seven years to realize I was just cannon fodder for the big fat bankers on wall street. Over optimism tied to the belief that I was actually making a difference in the Middle East🤷. Too late now, though! Can't take anything back.
You're playing a power game whether you want to or not. Whether overt or covert. You should at least learn the rules, lest they be unwittingly be used against you.
