Everyone to some degree is a bully. Parents bully their kids to brush their teeth, go to bed early, clean up their rooms etc. If they don't its some type of punishment or treat or favorite activity that is taken away. Threat maybe??
The government makes laws. Police enforce them. Courts makes punishments for breaking laws. The idea of a law is that there is the threat of punishment. Isn't that a form of bullying?
Without bullies, how do you know if you can stand up for yourself? People hate bullies because they been bullied themselves.
You have a very fucked up idea what "bullying" is.
Normal parenting is not bullying, it is teaching and discipline - meant to help a child, not fuck them up. Parents who just bully their kids are shitty parents & abusers.
Ditto the police and courts punishing criminals. That is not bullying - that is more like stopping bullies, enforcing consequences by taking down scumbags who harm to other people to benefit themselves.
Bullying is choosing to attack someone else to boost your ego, to enhance your social standing - and in particular, going after people who start at a disadvantage to you, hence the reason why bullies
are cowards.
Do not kid yourself. They are not showing courage, or trying to improve anything - they are just acting opportunistic attacking safe shots at people they think cannot fight back, and then hiding behind the goodwill & mercy of other people to protect them from punishment.
Cowards with their target selection, then cowards when it comes to facing consequences. The kind of people who should never be in uniform because they will definitely abuse any authority they are given. And when things get tough, the bullies are more likely break their oath of service and turn traitor just to save themselves.
Young kids might make these mistakes out of ignorance or lack of proper guidance, but as they get older and know what they are doing to others, it is a conscious choice to do evil, therefore they do not deserve any more understanding or mercy.
