Does bullying serve a useful purpose in society? I already know the answer to this question, but let's talk about it.

We've now gone 22 years now without any legitimate verbal school bullying in North American schools (no, "cyberbullying" doesn't count), and what kind of society do we have to show for it? Millennials, rude feminists, simps, and over-opinionated soy boys, all of which might have been useful, productive, respectful members of society had their egos and stupidity been kept in check. The most mentally weak and pathetic people in society have now grown up to become bullies themselves because no one gave them the good ass-kicking or reality check they deserved.

Keep in mind, this doesn't mean ALL people who are bullied "deserve it." Nor does this mean bullies are "the good guys." Some kids are truly innocent and get bullied for no reason. However, others are future-assholes waiting to happen, and bullying sometimes squashed their egos and made them play nice with others.

I just look at it as a natural balance to things. Like a forest fire getting rid of a few too many trees that are damaging the ecosystem. Or like death giving life meaning. Some "bad" things serve a purpose in life.

I don't know about you, but I don't think effeminate soy boys and obese feminists addressing other grown adults as if they can't get the sh*t slapped out of them right then and there, is "progress" in the world. I think too many "adults" in this day and age are rude-but-fragile little cupcakes, who never had to grow humility, empathy, or respect for others.

And yes, someone in high school DID try to bully me. But this was through my clinically depressed phase, and I pinned him against a locker and jammed my elbow into his throat and with unblinking eyes, threatened I'd follow him home and slit his throat in his sleep if he continued to f*ck with me. (I... Wasn't exactly "mentally stable" back then.) But I defended myself, is the point I'm making.

Long story short, I used to be on Quora. I left there for a bunch of reasons, but one of them was because people were so whiny and thin-skinned on there, and couldn't handle the truth. I answered a lot of questions that weren't doctor or medical related stuff but dealt with genetics and biology. And some people didn't like my responses because they were "depressing" or "pessimistic." People just wanted sugary, feel-good bullsh*t, which I could understand if Quora was a site like GirlsAskGuys. But it used to pride itself on being more "scholarly" and taken more seriously, once upon a time (definitely not anymore).

I would tell them harsh things about reality, and how human nature works, and how it can be related to your genetics, biology, or even your looks, and people would just complain because it wasn't "happy, feel good" content.

I got tired of Quora being this hugbox circlejerk and left. I just checked it again tonight after a while and found my notifications flooded with the same "You're a jerk for telling the truth" garbage I used to ignore.

My whole philosophy is "You don't have to like what I say, but you're going to learn it, sooner or later." It's a complex and complicated issue though, because sometimes morale and "confidence" can be the game-changer.

Would you rather be spared the truth and live a life of sugar-coated lies and bullsh*t, even if it means you'll be a happy, confident person because of those complete lies and fabrications?

Or would you rather know the cold, harsh, depressing, dark truth, even if it can make you feel jaded, cynical, bitter, or depressed upon hearing it?

No third option, fence-sitting BS here. You have to chose one, or not answer the question. Which is better; the dark truth or the sweet sweet lies?
