re: #69 Eclectic Cyborg

I know who these MAGA kids are. When I was in eighth grade, I was bullied to the point of being suicidal by arrogant jerk kids like these. It’s always the same with them: The smirks, the taunts, the group attacks. Bullies don’t change their tactics.

And now these kids are getting rewarded for their behavior by getting their faces all over TV and going to the White House to meet the President.

Fuck.

It’s how bullying persists. It’s part of the power structure. Whether it’s school kids bullying the outcasts, or ‘civic organization’ laying threats against parts of the population for being ‘the wrong kind of people’, it’s all the same impetus, and all protected by the same power structure it acts as the face of. Bullying persists because school administrations allow it, because they sympathize more with the bullies than the bullied.

These kids are no different, even moreso as they seem to be directly encouraged by the faculty to be these exact kind of asshats.

And it works. It always fucking works. We are in DARVO Country.
