they tend to lash out at powerless people for not sufficiently being up to the standards set by the powerful.

That would be a silly reason to lash out. More valid would be lashing out at 'powerless people' for mal or poor function. The baseline standard for an organism is functionality sufficient to maintain life, with abilities to reproduce or enjoy a particular type of life being a bonus.

Is it really only the powerful who care about functionality? I know we celebrate dysfunction, retardation, and a poor genetic code these days, but that's only because they cede more power to the state.

From their perspective, it is the same thing.

Now I'm unsure who the "they" is that Markimus referred to. By the sentence construction, it appears to be "the disaffected". By the content, it seems more "the Oversocialized".

I was referring to the Oversocialised. My point is that his analysis only really applies to those people, not actually disaffected people. Even when it does apply to the Oversocialised, it still doesn't really apply to them that much.

"the Oversocialized"

I like that term.

The propaganda overcooked their brains.

One of the more interesting users of that term.

You haven't seen cancel culture, antifa, feminists etc 24/7 attacking right wingers, ruralites, the working class etc for not being up to speed with hollywood's latest social agendas? This is all the 'left' has been since the New Left was invented, just Oversocialised people policing people for racism, sexism, homophobia and whatever else capitalists decide to push.

Cancel culture IS those who celebrate dysfunction, retardation, and poor genetic codes.

Yes, and they are attacking ordinary people for not being retarded dysfunctional bootlickers like themselves.

Given the reality of the limitations a 100 IQ confirs, it's inappropriate to refer to ordinary people as non-retarded. The ordinaries come up with a variety of beliefs to demonstrate their fantastic views of reality. Then they fight over those beliefs.

...and authority, limitations of freedom, "the greater good", social credit scores, and virtue signalling as if it were actually productive.

Perhaps you'd be interested in posting about the "Oversocialized" or other useful things in /s/Terminology. We need better vocabularies to more accurately describe things clearly and to resist tyranny better.
