Isn't this effectively the same as "ignore the bullies, they'll get bored", cause that doesn't work all that well in real life.
The moral highground only works when your opponents care about being moral.
Far more effective to stoop to their level and thoroughly beat them at it.
Don't stoop to their level. Find someone already on their level and then pay them to run interference.
Go lower
whether you're undercutting or undermining, it's always better to be below
Bottoms rise up
Moral high ground depends on social pressure from uninvolved parties shaming or otherwise negatively affecting the bully. Usually this shaming does not occur, or is otherwise ignored by the bully resulting in no negative outcomes for their bad behavior.
The concept of 'moral high ground' is itself ironically better at shaming the victims into allowing the abuse to continue, with uninvolved parties often coming down harder on the victim than the bully.
What kind of person takes more offense to the defense of victims than the original crime? -> criminals
I have IRL experience with this one.
You must choose violence. For only your own sake or you will never respect yourself again.
Being bullied in school sure changed my perspective with "peaceful solutions" some people deserve violence
As a fascist I must agree. Violence is a natural part of every solution.
especially for combating fascism.
You mean fascism conflicting with other ways of governmental thought? Yes. since I'm a fascist I'm invested in fascism winning. But we will see which governmental system is best fit for the time
