It's not "well-intentioned" at all. The objective is to make you obey. That's it. That's the whole reason. The folderol about "neuro-divergent people" is just a thin gloss of claimed virtue intended to disguise the actual goal. Do they have any actual evidence that "neuro-divergent people" suffer a greater degree of trauma from clapping than finger-snapping? No, they don't. Sure, there might be a "neuro-divergent" person, or even more than one, who finds clapping disturbing, but that says nothing at all about the general case. > if anyone doesn’t comply, that’s a great indicator that they oppose all of the above and are therefore fascists to be smoked out. Or witches, perhaps. The terminology changes over the years, but the tactics remain the same. The people who get out the torches and pitchforks because someone clapped his hands are exactly the same type of people who used to lynch blacks, burn harmless old ladies as witches, and throw Jews down wells. Exactly. They do it because they enjoy hurting people, and have found a cover story that allows them to do it under an illusion of virtue. You complain because we burned Mrs. Johnson? Well, then you must be pro-Satan!
