bullying

Description

Bullying is a form of social ritual in which a group or power structure arbitrarily targets the weak under the guise of justice. The perpetrator abandons any sense of right or wrong, while the audience uses laughter as a shield for indifference. The victim forges bonds through suffering, and bystanders enjoy the privilege of escaping collective responsibility. A curious ceremony where the distortions of human relationships are legitimized without anyone being held accountable.

Definitions
