Cyberbullies are Worthless Creatures

This is a recorded message that can be used to avoid misunderstandings and long useless virtual fights with random strangers.

Real life bullies typically use an advantage over those who are bullied; it might be physical strength, a state in which they outnumber their opponents or any other advantage that puts them in a position of relative power. When someone decides to use their power to harm a less powerful or powerless human being, they can objectively be described as cowards.

Cyberbullying involves the attempt to insult or harm other people on the internet, typically due to the fact that some individuals find it impossible to achieve self-actualization by providing any value to the world, combined with “toxic competitiveness” as a feature embedded in today’s global culture.

They feel like they cannot become “winners” unless other people become “losers”, and as they fail to actually “win” in any sort of beneficial legitimate competition, they try to start a meaningless competition in which they try to appear “tough”.

The decision to turn to cyberbullying instead of acting like other worthless real life bullies is usually associated with the bully’s lack of opportunities to find any real life advantages over their supposed opponents, so they try to create a situation in which they can have a usable advantage in the virtual world.


All bullies are bigots, and cyberbullies are surely included, some popular forms of bigotry are listed below:

  • Racism  the belief that humans may be divided into separate and exclusive biological entities called “races”; that there is a causal link between inherited physical traits and traits of personality, intellect, morality, and other cultural and behavioral features; and that some races are innately superior to others.
  • Xenophobiafear and hatred of strangers or foreigners or of anything that is strange or foreign. 
  • Religious intolerancethe intolerance of another’s religious beliefs or practices or lack thereof.

If you are a troll or a cyberbully and you know it, you may seek psychiatric help. If you are not one of these worthless creatures, you might be interested in reading on the need to dismantle  tribalism, cronyism, polarization, toxic competitiveness, oppression, corruption, systemic bigotry… and how “Enlightened Populism” may help us achieve these goals, in this book: Enlightened Populism: Reflections on the News Cycle of a Pandemic.

Enlightened Populism: Reflections on the News Cycle of a Pandemic

Enlightened Populism is a new book on Political Philosophy, Globalization & Internationalism & it's currently available for pre-order on Kindle, Enlightened Populism: Reflections on the News Cycle of a Pandemic. 



Book Description: 


Pandemics, global warming and other existential threats to humanity invite questions on the currently dominant sociopolitical constructs and the fundamental flaws within established systems, which may help us reevaluate the means by which human beings and the planet’s resources are grouped and classified from nation states to localities.

The book is primarily based on comments on News posts on Facebook and a selection from some of the most interesting replies that followed.

Reflections are made on the media’s relationship with reality, typical tactics of media framing, agenda setting, the superficial discourse of hard news, how media platforms cater their content to serve readers in separate bubbles, and how social media channels and other interactive internet platforms help widen the gaps between these bubbles.

Comments on the news posts provided by mainstream media organizations are utilized to highlight the links between intensely covered issues and the underreported newsworthy incidents, to shed some light on the common roots of longstanding struggles in multiple places around the world and the need to dismantle tribalism, cronyism, polarization, toxic competitiveness, oppression, corruption, systemic bigotry…

Enlightened populism is presented as a healthy alternative to the two dominant behavioral patterns of communication in today’s world, “Blind Elitism” and “Ignorant Populism”; it may help provide the essential infrastructure for human beings to efficiently challenge the mentioned aspects of the status quo.

PS: The book is primarily based on casual comments and conversations on Facebook, if you care about spelling, punctuation and the grammatical structure of a sentence more than the ideas expressed in it, this is not the right book for you.
