What’s the best modern theory of what turns people into bullies? Is there any truth to the movie trope that it’s a sort of punch-down cascade due to being abused at home? That seems very unconvincing to me. It feels like at best one kind of etiology that accounts for a fraction.

Replying to @vgr
the behavior is virtuous from the bully's pov. some woke bullying feels like Justice internally. police brutality feels like defending Purity, or not snitching or sth. so maybe bullying is borderland virtues mimed into the heartland. (border disruption causes bullying outbreaks)
