can we snuff out this "bullying= neccesary social good" meme for good? you know, the "bring back bullying" shit? That's another example of anti-human rhetoric. Getting constantly humiliated and belittled doesn't benefit anyone, reject that shit

Spoke with someone who's a teacher today. Asking me for advice, asking me what to do. I told him, just being in your position and existing is resistance enough. Told him that many of my audience are very young, the same age as the high schoolers he teaches. Told him that much of the youth is beginning to understand the task ahead of us.

Exactly. I used to teach, and that's the same way I felt about it. I definitely commie'd up my lessons in subtle ways, and I was always open and honest with them. That's the most important thing you can do, so long as it's safe for your position. I didn't have a lot of oversight, so I got away with quite a bit of things I shouldn't have, even in a very conservative (voucher-oriented, blech) state.

Grieve the life you were promised and never destined to live, give space for that. Then, realize you are no longer subject to the tyranny of that lie. Now is the time of monsters MOTHERFUCKER and are you going to cower behind the city walls?

What context is this even in?...
the context is me reading a study on youth suicide (link in our discord)
oh, are people still having trouble separating critique from cruelty?
I know that some trolls see themselves as obligate bullies because 'bullying enforces social order' and that tells you everything you need to know about them: Desperate, sad creatures who feel they have no worth unless it is as a sub-routine of a panopticon.
