(53,032 posts)Corporatist, enemies of the people, not real liberals or progressives, essentially implying they aren't even real people but corporate plants, even when they have far less privilege and money than those hurling the insults? Would that be the sort of bullying you mean, as a kind of team building exercise?
Then there are racist attacks, calling someone a "race nagger," "Lee Atwater," addressing them as "Dear black person," misogynist insults, rape threats, insisting a rape victim deserved to be "raped for real," death threats, yet none of that constitutes bullying? As opposed to what exactly? A laughing emoticon? Criticism of a post or a story? It truly is interesting what causes outrage among certain "groups" engaged in "team building exercises."
