This has nothing to do with autism. When I went to school, we had zero tolerance policies, which meant if the bully bullied you, well you would get suspended too. And nowadays schools look like fucking prisons. You got kids eating washing machine tablets, and bringing guns to school. Girls because of the dark agloridums on social media are unhappy and depressed, while the boys are acting more aggressive than they ever have. I'm so tired of everyone being diagnosed autistic, neurodivergent. The world you live in does not make any fucking sense. And when you pull yourself out of yourself and look at the bigger picture, well, the world is on fire. I'm not saying that people like this don't exist. I feel like it's just a distraction from us actually solving our fucking problems. But those problems have to deal with dealing with the global variant, and that global variant is the capitalist mode of production.
Hey bud it's true not everyone is autistic. But you may want to stop and check where you are at. This is an Autism forum, hence most of our members are autistic. You are in Autism City! So yeah a lot of us, especially older folks empathize with this.
You sound like you were the bully. I was always just wanted recess to be over. One day a asshole came along while I sitting on the monkey bars by myself of course. He grabbed and threw me off. I landed hard and broke my arm. That guy is now doing life in prison. He has been there twenty year.
At the time though they told me both sides were at fault. Didn't care I wasn't doing anything because of course why would some psychopath in training just come by and do that. So I got punished by having my arm broke and he just smirked at me every time I saw him until round two a few year later.
