    I think young people are a lot more cruel now than they were then.

    Its more of a human thing actually. I always find anti bullying measures kind of a waste of time. Adults will bully you way more. It just isn’t a swirly.

    it’s making you fill out an application on a job prospects website even though the info is on the resume.

    It’s every month when we pay rent.

    It’s every paycheck we receive that doesn’t include our surplus labor value.

    It’s a overdraft fee from your bank.

    It’s ComcastXfinity purchasing your local government and ensuring you have no alternatives for an ISP.

    It’s the “unprecedented call volume” you wait through that happens because the customer service phone line is purposely understaffed.

    It’s your health insurance denying your claim.

    It’s everywhere. Just because we hide it behind a curtain of the economic system doesn’t mean it changes the nature of these interactions.

    Besides, don’t you want your kid to be successful? Bullies are successful as fuck. Every parent should be teaching their child to be the biggest asshole douchebag bully ever.
