In the Army they sometimes say that the enemy will "bully you" much more than anyone. It's just a flesh wound- walk it off. There are levels. In the Army some have been killed by bullying.

What they talk about as bullying in politics and society is very different. Women bully too- but they tend to do it differently to the way men do it. Men tend to under report bullying especially against women. As they say it takes two to have an argument. At the end of the day the law is a blunt instrument. Joseph Nye talked about Soft Power- setting a good example for behavior. Sadly many see good behavior as an opportunity to bully.

Personality/ Communication is a many faceted thing- what works in a situation won't in another. The bullying accusation is just a way of getting power- while blindly tearing down the pillars that protect society.

Politicians (actors too) strain against each other for advantage- using every underhanded strategy they can- the public needs to take claims in context.

Because of the pressures of society and scarcity of resources- day to day activities have become a bloody tooth and nail battle to climb over the pile of bodies. This devalues life itself.

There are too many people with too many incompatible ideas.

Good Morning Canem Malum,

Thank You for your multi-faceted comments.

You have the gift or should I say - the talent
of presenting us with more than one perspective
on any discussion. That enriches and raises the
bar for us all.

Sorry; correction.
I should have included 'fit for purpose'.
At present, 'renewables' are NOT fit for purpose.

'Is Misogyny Still Alive and Well in the Liberal Party?'

Not so sure but am convinced that emasculated males and marxist feminist have far to much say in the abc (sorry Labour party). The worst of the two 'evils' you might say.

runner,

We can add shock jocks and powerful columnists to the
mix. They also know how to try to influence people.

If voters are given false or misleading information, the
democratic process becomes a sham. It is therefore
important that the media and public officials do try to
tell the truth. But as we know that does not always happen.
A democracy requires its citizens to make informed choices
but if voters and their representatives are denied access to
the information they need to make these choices, or if
they are given false or misleading information - under such
circumstances, the people cannot use their rights in a
meaningful way.

Runner do you watch fox news? how about listening to Alan Jones? other right of reality shock jocks on your must hear list?
It is my view every one of them should be made compulsory to see and hear, top it off with every Trump tweet and every supporting jurnal. 'Then just maybe such an inoculation can make us immune to such total crap.
