> Genuine question: in this case, what is in fact the disorder?
To quote from Appendix B of the Jargon file (http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/weaknesses.html http://www.catb.org/jargon/html/weaknesses.html):
"Many hackers have noticed that mainstream culture has shown a tendency to pathologize and medicalize normal variations in personality, especially those variations that make life more complicated for authority figures and conformists. [...] [T]hus, any social system that depends on authority relationships will tend to helpfully ostracize and therapize and drug such ‘abnormal’ people until they are properly docile and stupid and ‘well-socialized’."
