Some people think it's okay to bully people, not just verbal bullying, even physical bullying, and some people say if you get bullied that's because you are weak and should toughen up and deal with it. Why do some people think this way?

In my case, my environment is pretty cutthroat, because I play at the highest level, competition, hate and ♥♥♥♥, I need to be ruthless, and it sips into my everyday life, being toxic to me is necessary. Ever thought about that?

A lot of insecure morons, that's true, but also a lot of top G's that gotta be that way to compete and stay afloat.

None of what you said is true.

Because they are realistic about it. Either you avoid the bullies, you fight them or you let them do whatever they want. Each of those stances will cost you something anyway, it's on you to choose what it will cost you.

And there is way worse than bullies out here, they're just a mere training before the real stuff.

They're just more traumatising as you often face them as a child that isn't fully develloped yet.

Because they're sadistic and or insecure.

They get away with it, can validate themselves at the expense of others, and attract the opposite sex by their actions.

Survival of the fittest really doesn't have anything to do will bullying.

I would say a lack of intelligence, insecurities and self control is involved. Many people bully as they don't know a better method to get what they want. A lot of it has to do with insecure egos that they want power over others by bringing them down.

Because there are multiple paths to survival, nature is amoral and doesn't care. Not all of those paths goes through bullying, ergo bullying is not really needed for survival. In fact, in modern, western society it's rather easy to avoid getting killed as long as you're not a moron (no offense meant to morons). Bullying has nothing to do with it.

Bully's often aid in keeping morale standards in place.

Indeed, a classic is the guy who bully others by fear to be himself the victim if he doesn't take the lead in the matter. A stupid but understandable reasonning.

From my own experience, what works best against bullies is making consequences unavoidable for them. Bullies aren't courageous most of the time and will quickly drop the act once it start to hurt for themselves. ^^

Well it just so happens that we're wired to destroy, conquer and compete. You're either abnormal or keep your true nature, biological wiring, suppressed.
