"Mental illness" is usually a prog meme to be wary of. It's not well defined in general. It won't be long before "racism" is officially classified as a mental illness.https://twitter.com/666Dreyrugr14/status/997587349956591618 …

Everyone seems to have a different idea of what bullying looks like, who gets bullied, and why it happens. I think rarely are the guys at the top of the hierarchy bullying guys at the bottom. Isn’t it usually the guys right above them?
-
Sure, but the list above has to do with who's on the bottom

Like I said, nature ain’t pretty. She’s a cold hearted bitch, but we need to examine the nature of that instinct to exclude that awkward creepy dude. I don’t like social exclusion, but there are probably a number of things going on in addition to simple status competition.

Everybody can relate with being the last one picked for the team, but our ancestors might have been even more ruthless in selecting whom they trusted to be at their sides to go on dangerous hunt or expedition to defend territory from rival tribes.

I definitely understand the mental illness is a prob meme take as a diversion from the sick society, but I think it is true an astounding number of people are actually mentally ill at this point due to fucked up childhoods, many probably won’t be redeemed

Childhoods today are if anything much less fucked up than in the past though

Well depends on when and where we’re talking. I’m picturing 1 or 2 child families born to mid 30’s working parent households, estrangement from extended family, video games, tv, poor diet, no substantial meaning to anything they do, no battlegrounds like playing football

I’ve also heard some claim that the post WWII kids are coming of age in unique circumstances, isolated from adults and sequestered in unusually large mass rearing institutions. Public schools are peculiar how they concentrate & segregate teenagers apart from the rest of society.

Yeah as I went through school they created an intermediate school which broke things down by age even more, so there were separate schools for K-4, 5-6, 7-8.

And so even if there was always one other grade in the school with you, you were mostly held constant with your own classmates. This created a weird fluctuation of dominance hierarchies as one year you were the young guy and the next the old guy with no one above you
