"Badly socially integrated", asocial, highly-functional-autism or "Gemüt-poor" individuals can also function as a society's immune system that helps it fight back and recover from malignant ideologies like nazism and extremist-communism! It's also called "contrarianism." Contrarianism, engagement, and Free Speech were celebrated when the Left-dominated media was still fighting for dominance, whereas the Right pooh-poohed it. Now, contrarianism, engagement, and Free Speech are the province of the Right. Badly socially integrated "Gemüt-poor" individuals gravitate towards the side that has to resort to rationality and sense. This often causes them to speak truth to power, when others would make the social calculation and keep mum. I think the pendulum is related to the Geeks, Mops, and Sociopaths progression. https://meaningness.com/geeks-mops-sociopaths https://meaningness.com/geeks-mops-sociopaths The side with the rising/peaking social currency/power attracts the mops, then the sociopaths. Many geeks then wind up on the side furthest away from the sociopaths, causing a flip-flop or another swing of the pendulum. (There will always be a concentration of sociopaths on the extreme ends of the political spectrum, as that is the best tactical ground for outrage virality tactics.)
