i believe that our whole culture tragically supports the bully. if you think about it, the way we operate across the world, we have been getting what we want thru covert or overt force since WWII. Competition is not only encouraged , it is celebrated and the corporate growth is power and influence socially and politically has grown out of control. the current 1% and their disproportionate soaring economic growth and power is another example of the bully principle. it is not just an adolescent problem; in unwritten ways it permeates our society and is secretly embraced and even honored. the solution to the bully is the same for all social injustices; be the change we wish to see. It takes a willingness to self examine, courage and hard work to undo much of the inhumane dysfunctional thinking that we have inherited. Our whole educational system is geared to serve as a factory that produces drones that accept, fit into and sustain the established institutions and systems of the status quo.
nuclear weapons are only okay in our hands and in the hands of those allies in bed with us. humans have been conquering one another and taking lands and resources forever. The bully archtype is nothing new and it is an “adult” accomplishment that the young simply mimic.
