Why do people bully?

[Groenewolf]

Why? Mainly due to bad manners introduced to the northern Europe mostly by swarthy Mediterranoids aka southern Europeans.

Sure . Kids will always pick on those who do not conform to group-norms. Even more so if you are superior intelligent and a bit eccentric.

Why do people bully? Because it's great entertainment, because it's self-empowering, because it gives you the intoxication of power and victory that it equally does to win over others in competitions and more specifically to destroy and undermine others in general.

Some of the more sociological reasons are that it's an effective tool at enforcing, maintaining and demonstrating social power structures - e.g. an opportunity for the alpha's to exert power and for the betas to demonstrate their loyalty to the alphas. The weakest are most often the targets for this mechanism, and hence become excluded and/or scapegoats.

It is also an effective method of enforcing norms and rules which naturally emerge in group situations. Due to their hierarchies and the interest in preserving power for the members, groups develop unconsciously a kind of common mind whose interests they then try to defend.

People who violate or try to break out of that common minds norms and rules threaten the power hierarchy and hence, are the -rightful- target of isolation, social and psychological terrorism, physical violence or on a societal level, destruction/elimination.

So not only the weak will become targets, the stronger and psychologically more independent who are more independent of groups will often also become targets. But so what? This will simply be a test of their strength. It will be good for them. It will develop them.

Because some people just deserve to get f***** up. It's written on their foreheads. It's hard to resist such temptations.

Yes, thank for this inside in the mindset of the bully . So I deserved to be bullied.

And I am not really willing to explain this completely on the forum. To personal.

I was a the quiet sort of kid when I was in school, the perfect sort for bullies to pick on- which did happen. A lot. In looking back, the sorts of kids that always picked on me (and other kids) were usually always part of a gang (gang niggers, preppy kids, whiggers, and so on), who'd usually back down if you stood up to them. In seventh grade, I decked one of them, some white trash kid, upside the head with a rather clunky school textbook one day after something he said that I didn't like. I got suspended for it, but with the added satisfaction of all but knocking the kid out. Of course he acted as if he was the innocent party, but they always do...

And, said white trash never bugged me again.

Bullies mates, not the runes or Romans or Celtiberians.
