The problem is, bullying is a trait of human nature
Capture of the pirate Blackbeard
The problem is, bullying is a trait of human nature which was learned by people, probably way back, to snatch booty and to control and dominate others.
The only ways to stop bullying are:
1. To ignore it if this makes it go away. If that fails then:
2. To hit back by whatever means needed. Hit it where it hurts.
If you watch any film or programme with bullying content, the means needed to stop bullying is always to stand up to the bully. Not reacting can work in some situations but the context here is important. You need to be able to afford to ignore the bully.
Afford to ignore
It is impossible or at least very difficult to ignore someone who is pummeling your face into the ground or breaking your limbs. It is just as difficult to ignore someone tugging your lunch out of your hands when you are hungry.
In the instance of role power bullying by anyone in a position of authority over you, it is just as difficult to ignore them as, in the case of bullying, the attack against you will escalate before it stops. The escalation might cost you too much to survive it. A bully who has any power over you can leave you with:
- A loss of physical health
- A loss of income
- A loss of assets
- A loss of support when they scare off your allies
- No sign of any way out or defence
- Even a loss of life
In short: a bully will want and try to take from you as much as they can and whatever they think they can get away with. They will know no bounds and their methods will known no limits.

Why Ideology is Like a Virus and Needs Community Leadership to Oppose
Like a virus, the spread of ideology relies on transmission among the community. Society is made up of various groups and has been since the dawn of time.

Had UK Government Put Public Interests First, Might We Have Averted Disaster
Boris Johnson’s Government’s focus seems to have been on big corporation interests from the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, thinking they could “flatten the curve” after contact tracing and quarantining had been dropped. After John Newton predicted a million cases, the government abandoned its contact tracing in favour of a 3-4 month national lockdown. Could […]
Creativity Will Always Be Important for Humanity
I’ve felt for years the western world, particularly, is making it increasingly difficult for visual thinkers to survive. Creative people tend to be solution finders, problem solvers, thinkers, observers, investigators and inventors. This might mean that creative people design their own processes into their work. Therefore following a new unfamiliar process on its own is […]
Voyage of Discovery about Nutrition
Almost finished Tim Spector’s book Spoonfed, which is a detailed overview of human nutrition from a GP and nutritional scientist’s perspective. If only every GP needed to study nutrition as Tim Spector has. Spector’s book demystifies every area of the modern diet from gluten, animal and plant protein, gluten, fibre, caffeine, alcohol, water and shows […]
We Must Keep Our Wits About Us
I watched #Brexit – An Uncivil War on Netflix last night and thought: how easy society is to manipulate. How can we feel ourselves being boiled like frogs? How did Michael Gove, Dominic Cummings end up in parliament and Nigel Farage become an MEP. The reasonable thinking that existed up til 2016, fought for by […]
