#bullies

Imagine you're shooting a film for children's television. Some bullies, one blackmailing all others. The other children: brilliant, quieter, co-operative, great ideas.
Which children are at the centre of your story? How do they save their sandbox from the bullies? Who loses in the end?
And now try a new perspective for writing adults' news. 😎

@lccscotland this is just #ridiculous! another example of another disastrous decision the self-proclaimed leaders ( #bullies ) of the "free" world, and its impact across the world. Illegal #Cannabis is #illegal Within the context of #alcohol and #tobacco, cannabis is less harmful (check data on all 3). There was never a Public Health problem with cannabis addiction. Cannabis was proihibited because of #prejudice, #racism and pure #ignorance. "Drugs and Alcohol" is just #newspeak. #boycottusa

What to do if bullying? Try consistent boundaries

1. do not writhe or waver. (Movement attracts the bully)
2. do not attempt to appease. (Any offer is interpreted as weakness and obtains thrust)
3. flee to a safe position that you could hold with support
4. then stand still. Set limits on how others treat you. Affirm boundaries (The bully will redirect attacks eventually)
5. connect: turn to a trusted person, reach out only to someone you feel well about
6. offer backing, foster, become accomplice, enjoy

Bullying typically goes in a vicious cycle in families. Kids learn it from parents, and so on, and so on, world without end.
Not always, but often.
Bullies come in all shapes, sizes, ages, colours, religions, ages, and ethnicities.

Bullying isn't something kids necessarily "grow out of". It should always be deemed unacceptable and behaviour should be redirected as per age.

If not, it grows, and grows, and grows, and you end up with Trump and Vance.

"Zelensky was “forced” by Trump and Vance into defending himself to the point of deterioration in the Oval Office meeting, says former diplomat Arthur Snell."—Times Radio

Continued thread

A handful of #MAGA devotees have openly endorsed #RussianPropaganda, but more #Republicans have explained away #Trump’s behavior as reflecting some motivation other than outright sympathy for Moscow: He is transactional, he is a nationalist, he admires strength & holds weakness in contempt.

And it is all true: Trump does admire #dictators. He does instinctively side w/ #bullies over victims. He does lack any #values-based framework for American #ForeignPolicy.
