\ni dont know why people are like \u2018we need to bully people so they are more normal\u2019 when if the internet has been anything its been a series of longitudinal studies showing that prolonged large scale bullying tends to lead people to becoming increasingly weird, paranoid, sometimes off-putting, traumatized, emotionally troubled, ethically disregulated, etc. even unethical modalities like behaviorism don\u2019t focus exclusively or primarily on punishment. like people should literally just be honest and say they want more bullying because they like to do it and have fun hurting other people
It’s not that bullying makes individual humans better, it’s that it makes a healthier culture in which those incapable of maintaining stable equinamity in the face of circumstance or attempts to dominate or suborn them are coded as unworthy, excluded from structures of power, and not catered to.
