>>23294328>All I'm trying to say is that bullying has a purposeful role in society.Which it blatantly fails to fulfill since we no longer live in close-knit bands where you are dependent on your neighbors for life, community and survival, the kind of setting where bullying actually matters. Your class in school, your workplace environment; they are not society. They are temporary spaces and groups the bullied individual and bully both will leave in time.
Bullying in a setting such as school does nothing to achieve improvement or purposeful gains for society. All it does is strike down a maladaptive individual, without actually gaining anything for the whole. Society is not dependent on the behaviors and actions of a single individual. It does not matter if someone is autistic in behavior. It is entirely irrelevant for society.
There is nothing to gain by bullying except emotional relief for the bully, as the empathetic violation of norms is no longer felt by them. That is all the "value" there is to it.
Much more prudent would be to take spergs and the like aside, educate and teach them on correct behavior, but teachers suck and there's not enough resources for therapists and councelors to handle it all.
