    A lot of autistic people are easy targets for informants and undercover officers. We saw this with the boogaloo movement. It’s a bunch of informants who are blatantly exploiting the fact that autistic people are likely going to be vulnerable to people offering them a sense of acceptance and have trouble seeing through a setup.

    The 2021 gun rights rally at the Ohio capitol was a perfect example of this. It was around two weeks after J6 and there was a supposed national gun rights rally that was supposed to happen at state capitols. It got called out by gun rights influencers who warned everyone that it was a setup because there was no organizer behind it and it was likely an attempt to either make gun owners into felons or smear them in some way.

    There was a group of boogaloo boys who showed up and their leader had signs of autism. He showed no awareness and tried getting seen with a transwoman at the event.

    They also showed up to the George Floyd protests and tried to hijack the protests to promote the boogaloo movement.

      Welp, the effect of the insane american political system and the right to own murder weapons isnt gonna help autistic individuals at all.

      He showed no awareness and tried getting seen with a transwoman at the event.

      I dont know why this would be relevant.

      I had to google this movement. Autistics can lack logical thinking as well, sadly.
