“Bullying works” is one of those really nasty, regressive takes that always shocks me when it appears in otherwise progressive spaces
most progressive spaces are built on bullying. not sure why you’d be shocked.
the difference is the target of the bullying.
Telling bullies to not be shitheads to others is not bullying.
I’m sorry, am I supposed to read this as putting someone on blast for being a giant fucking asshole? Cause there’s not really anything in this post to suggest that. This is fucked, my dude. Bullies take their insecurities out on their peers, there’s no benefit to such anti-social behavior. The fuck?
Um no
Hell no, even.
Buzz (Devin Ratray) was an asshole in the movie, accused of rape in real life, and convicted of domestic assault in real life. I guess OOP could have included a picture of Tom Wilson (Biff Tannen), an arguably good person IRL, but time travel proved that he’s a legacy asshole at every stage of his life. Which is what really happens when you praise bullies. You end up with the bully billionaire presidents that all of these movies tried to warn you about.
What? No. Why?
Yeah, I don’t get this. It sounds like a dumb take by people who want an excuse to keep bullying people.
What morons upvoted this idiocy?
nah
The personalities bullies targeted in the 90s are not the personalities causing the issues with modern day society.
For the most part, you’re probably correct, but Elon Musk would’ve been bullied mercilessly in my high school, and it probably could’ve instilled some sense of self awareness if he had been.
I think the same is probably true of Stephen Miller and J.D. Vance.
I bet Stephen Miller was bullied, that’s why he has so much to prove. Musk maybe too. Both of them get bullied quite a bit now and nothing seems to work. Although, Elon has sort of disappeared. Where is that pesky little nazi.
Elon Musk WAS bullied in high school and Stephen Miller was a social pariah for being a freaky little racist weirdo. They both still turned out this way. I’m so tired of people saying “if only they had been bullied more!”, when we know now that healthy socialization always leads to better outcomes and that having more money than god breaks peoples brains and how they perceive the world.
