    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.

      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.

      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

      All I’m saying. There are worse things than death. The death penalty only benefits the living relatives and friends of the person or persons murdered. Once the convicted killer is killed. They don’t care anymore. Also, just because you forgive them doesn’t mean you don’t still punish them.

      That’s without getting into things like literal cost, or wrongful conviction rates, etc.

    Sounds like some mafia/gang sympathy bullshit. Gangstalking?

    You want people to stay quiet for your crime and forgive you?

    So eat shit and suffer in agony for your crimes till you can’t take it anymore.

    Forgiveness was invented by the Church to get their followers to forgive them for raping them and their kids. It’s a bullshit idea that only benefits the oppressors.
