Also, what are your favorite comebacks to bullies?

I need to stop trying to change unchangeable people. I’ve been through so many bad faith people who dehumanize at every turn whenever they feel they won’t get consequences. I need to make there be consequences for dehumanization.

Someone said to me “What if there’s a predatory creep that you don’t know how to socially shut down, and they feel emboldened because you don’t roast them?” I said that’s happened. They said i need to practice in lower risk scenarios. Maybe I get roasted for calling someone an asshole. One day that can turn into me and the dehumanizer going 50/50, me and them both getting half the roast. But to even get there I have to start by being roasted by bullies.

I won’t get anywhere if I don’t start clapping back and getting roasted many times by many assholes.

    My strategies have been:

    1. be big
    2. be mean
    3. immediately “go for the throat”
    4. oh shit oh fuck 1-3 don’t apply outside of childhood
    5. present their actions as extremely anti-social, and in doing so build a united front of people who are sick of their bullshit. In general bullies are cowards who are supported by cowards, and thus their supporters are easily won over by posing as a “strongman” figure they can get behind because they think that person will “win”. Without their base, bullies change their tactics because it’s all an attention-seeking front. This then throws them off their game because their confidence is based on a single approach (they’re not typically bright), which means they’re doing something they’re uncomfortable with. Once you’ve identified what that is, spread it through gossip so everyone knows it’s a weak point, then be the first to call them out on it in public. Boom. Now you’re the alpha with a pack, and they’re the beta with a……sack? (Oh yeah, also leave a burning sack of shit by their home)
