You mentioned how you had difficulty understanding the motivations of neurotypical people.

My claim is that people who are able to ignore societal norms do so, making them seem like the rules don't apply to them.

ie, this is why private prison companies don't follow traditional moral standards.

@pockets

For non-rich people, subsumation of the ego / self is a common practice in public life. ie, "no shirt, no shoes, no service."

For rich people, the ego / self need not be subsumed because one can simply create circumstances in which one's desires can be met, regardless of how objectionable or illegal they might be.

Western society uses punishment as a means of social correction not because it works (it doesn't) but because it feels good to those who aren't victims.

Wouldn't those just be run by private prison companies? I doubt many of them have moral qualms about anything.

Trumpism is Sado-Populism. The cruelty is the point. The purpose the cruelty serves is to satiate oneself into feeling good about punishing others. The punishment, once begun, cannot end- especially when an entire political party has made punishment their identity.

For this reason, concentration camps are not only possible, but likely.
