Hexbear likes to call themselves socialist and communist, but they come across strongly as just another group of fascists. (thelemmy.club)

"coming across strongly" isn't even a bad thing, this guy just associates it with fascism. Yeah, I want us to be strong, I don't want the bourgeoisie seeing the people as a bunch of weak pushovers they can exploit to death, they should be intimidated by our numbers should we throw off our chains. Only liberals would believe that weakening your polticial movement is somehow to your benefit

    I have always been bothered when someone acts like they are untouchable. I feel a deep seated passion to make them humble somehow. It baffles me how many people do not possess this instinct.

    In fact I bet I'd get slap with the oppositional defiance disorder over it. When I have no problem with following people who are not jackasses.

    I've looked this up because I share the trait, turns out it can be a spectrum thing

    It can, but I do wonder from time to time how much of it is a spectrum thing and how much of it is normal but easier to stamp out in others.

    Given we are social creatures it makes sense to me for this response to exist, but I think there is a lot we don't understand in general given that most psychology is based more on the individual then the idea of humans as a group entity
