quackademic<p><a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/CoerciveControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CoerciveControl</span></a> is a useful concept for making visible the abuses of <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/power" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>power</span></a> that can occur in hierarchical relationships. </p><p>We now see them more easily in <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/families" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>families</span></a>, <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/cults" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cults</span></a> & other institutions. Perhaps our next step is to see how people raised in relations of hierarchy learn that the only way to be safe is to either become the biggest <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/bully" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bully</span></a> in the room or to appease that bully. </p><p>So many of the people who achieve power in our <a href="https://mastodon.au/tags/political" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>political</span></a> & other institutions appear to operate like this. While bullying behaviour is seen as normal, or even valorised as a characteristic of alpha masculinity, our cultural framing rules (what we’re allowed to say) & feeling rules (what we’re allowed to feel) obscure it from view. The consequences of a bully’s actions are seen as resulting from the personal failings of those who are harmed. Naming this dynamic becomes a dangerous act.</p><p>Sound familiar?</p><p>What if our culture‘s assumed hierarchy of human value is mistaken? What if this way of making sense of the world harms us more than it protects? What if we are all connected & our wellbeing depends on the wellbeing of others?</p><p>When bullies win, everyone loses. I say yay to every way we make this visible.</p><p><a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-04-12/coercive-control-religion-geelong-revival-centre/105146234?utm_source=abc_news_app&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_app&utm_content=other" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">abc.net.au/news/2025-04-12/coe</span><span class="invisible">rcive-control-religion-geelong-revival-centre/105146234?utm_source=abc_news_app&utm_medium=content_shared&utm_campaign=abc_news_app&utm_content=other</span></a></p>

Mike_V<p>"“What does a bully despise? A bully despises empathy, kindness, boredom, rationality, creativity, curiosity. Why does a bully despise these things? Because these acts require self-awareness and vulnerability. And one becomes a bully, embraces being a bully, inhales and luxuriates in the bullyness of bullydom precisely because of a deep-seated pain and the terror of self-analysis, of confronting vulnerability” </p><p>Craig Mod: A Walk, a Protest.</p><p><a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/bully" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bully</span></a> <a href="https://cosocial.ca/tags/bullying" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bullying</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://craigmod.com/ridgeline/074/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">craigmod.com/ridgeline/074/</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p>

Jakra<p>I assume this isn't an original thought. But is Trump just a middle school bully? With no awareness of anyone else's autonomy? Anything he does is fair, everyone else's retaliation is unreasonable, and perceived as him being 'bullied', despite it being reciprocal. Everything is someone else's fault. Everything good is because he deserves it, everything bad is a slight. <a href="https://aus.social/tags/auspol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>auspol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/pol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pol</span></a> <a href="https://aus.social/tags/bully" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bully</span></a></p>
