@arcana @fial @mia @sun i wouldn't say i'm immune to propaganda but most of what i had studied had to do with identifying abusive manipulation tactics and trying to sort and process extremely traumatized individuals. eric berne etc talks about atomizing social exchanges in to "games" and classifying them from there, ACE looks in to the side effects of traumatic childhoods resulting in near-guaranteed drug users, i have some minute NLP experience.

autism only protects you because they mass broadcast to trick NTs and you need a different bag of tricks. but reading their training manuals and being extremely cynical helps a lot more.
