We all know children can be bullies and especially in school. I was bullied a lot during 6th grade as I was so introverted and meek and couldn’t stand up for myself. Now I can and why I absolutely hate bullying and bully’s.
Sadly, bullying didn’t stop at the school playground. No, it has expanded into our adult lives too. This post came about because one of our authors has been bullied by her publicist and his co-worker. (No names will be called out.) Which got me to thinking. Of course. Our society has turned into one big BULLY. 😂😥
From Meriam-Webster: BULLY
1 : to treat (someone) in a cruel, insulting, threatening, or aggressive fashion
2 : to cause (someone) to do something by means of force or coercion
As an author, I’ve run across Trolls before on Goodreads. People who just love beating writers down because they can and are totally anonymous. The reason why most authors stay away from that slime pit. I always wondered how these people act in real life. Do they treat their family and friends the same way? I doubt it. Which is one of the greatest pitfalls of the internet and social media. It’s give rise to people throwing their weight around without any repercussions.
Then, there’s Twitter. A real cesspool if there ever was one. Authors have been mocked, threatened, and their careers ruined because an author had the audacity to write something they didn’t approve of. Some of the Trolls even went to the extremes of hunting them down and harassing them in person. What would that be called but BULLYING. And we do nothing to stop it, thereby, condoning their actions.
Which leads me to CANCEL CULTURE and why I say our society has turned into a BULLY. Cancel Culture is not politics but has bled into the political arena as the TROLLS/CRYBABIES screaming at the top of their lungs that WE HAVE TO DO WHAT THEY SAY take political office and push their agendas onto unsuspecting citizens. And it’s not just happening in the USA. No, Canada and Europe are all fighting the culture war, as well.
I didn’t intend for this post to turn into a Black Pill moment, as Tim Pool would say. But then I saw a YouTube video that James O’keefe posted about how he was treated by the board members of Project Veritas and what actually led up to him being fired. And I’m sure the board was BULLIED by Pfizer as he’d just exposed them for their nefarious activities with their COVID vaccinations.
Then, I learned about Josh Alexander in Canada who got arrested for protesting for the girls in his catholic school over having transgender girls with them. They complained to him that they they didn’t feel safe in their bathrooms but the management wouldn’t listen to them or him. So, he got arrested for trying to speak his mind. Really? How sad our world has become.
My questions is, Why are we allowing the minority to run and ruin our countries? When you let bullies run your lives, there is no room for discourse, debate, or any opinions but their own. And you will ALWAYS be wrong. You will be told over and over, as they scream at the top of their lungs, that you are all foul, racist pigs.
As a few apt sayings go: “The loudest one in the room, is the weakest one in the room.”
And: “He who shouts loudest usually has the least to say.”
So why are we letting the BULLIES run our lives?
Fear. Fear of the BULLIES who take our lunch money everyday.
Well said, Sahara. Bullies are everywhere. There is a lot wrong with society throughout the World, but if we could solve the bullying (on a personal, and corporate level) the world would be a much happier and safer place
Yes, we would. But, sadly, that’s not how the ones in charge want it. They want the division among the masses so they can control our lives. It sucks.
