Just thinking: I regret not knowing how to act or how to stand up for myself, when I was younger. Some idiots claim that "bullying makes you tough"; it doesn't. It makes you realize your place in the hierarchy. When you do stand up for yourself, they bully you harder. Because you are not following hierarchy and staying in the place society has relegated you to. If you kill a cockroach, then you are a hero. If you kill a butterfly, then you are a villian. Beauty is the standard for morality.
I agree with most of that. Not the last 3 sentences though.
Bullies are the very definition of might is right, and they don't need to lean on either beauty or morailty to get their way.
Best example is the clot-shot. The state bullied everyone, stomped on a whole lot of butterflies and roaches and then told you what to believe or we'll take everything you hold dear.
@UncleIroh Well, the clot-shot was propaganda meted out to carry out a political agenda. Bullying is a social act to establish hierarchy.
The clot-shots purpose was not to establish social hierarchy. It was to cull the population and to do clinical trials for efficacy.
Attractive people are never "bullied". They are the standard. I do not need to go into examples of how outraged people are when an attractive female, or male, is caught in a crime. Men who are unattractive are guilty by de
Strong disagree. The government absolutely set out to establish hierarchy, a brand new one, and broke with all preceding traditions of liability and due-process to do it. When asked, people say they felt bullied.
At the personal level, women destroy beautiful things all the time - families, children, men, businesses - and are praised for it.
Your specific claims on morality and beauty don't stand up.
@UncleIroh My examples stand just fine without me explaining them. Moreover, the government doesn't need to set out to establish a hierarchy. They *are* the top of the hierarchy. They *are* the elites. We are just the cattle they use to make money off of, experimenton, and fight their wars (to acquire assets to make money). Finally, the government never adhered to any tradition of liability or due process. They are above the law.
All untrue.
You're describing "rule by lions", states that unashamedly rule by decree & naked force, e.g.Soviet era Russia, North Korea.
The Western model is not that, it's "rule by foxes", which means rights, laws, debate & the concept of consent, however fake that is.
It's model requires hidden power to work (CIA, NSA, deep state, etc..). N Korea doesn't need any of that shit.
Our elites are trying to maintain the look of fox power while behaving like lions. That's new.
@sardonicsmile
To just assert that elites are the same regardless of the country or hierarchy they are at the top of, is just to deny reality and history.
What you describe is more like a childs version of power, or a lefty's straw man.
You can turn a lion state into a fox state without too much bloodshed. You cannot turn foxes into lions without a stack of bodies 10's of millions high.
