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.
- Xenophobia: fear and hatred of strangers or foreigners or of anything that is strange or foreign.
- Religious intolerance: the 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.
