Five-decade UK study finds that aggression at school leads to better-paying jobs, while those with emotional instability went on to earn less

We already know that being a selfish, manipulative, heartless bastard is what it takes to get ahead in a company.
If you are not willing to step on the the little people below you to get ahead then you won’t get to the top.
I can guarentee that playground bullies are overrepresented in CEOs, boardrooms and in politics.
nepotism do be like dat mate
look at the political leadership of most of countries while on this train of thought…
As someone who was severely bullied at school and seen those cunts get to the top of the food chain, esp those that do nursing and psychiatry/psychology related fields, can’t say I’m surprised at that and it will always bother me until the day I die cuz they truly don’t deserve it at all.
bully nurses? Nurse Ratched is a meme, dude. Look it up. and it is from a 1970’s movie, showing the trope is alive and well https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Nurse+Ratched+meme&t=ffab&atb=v347-1&iar=images&iax=images&ia=images

The UK’s culture is pretty fucked up so I’d out to see this replicated in a normal country
Looks to me like pretty messed up is the new norm, nowadays.
The only bully I remember ended up addicted to heroin and meth. I would be very surprised if he’s still alive given the fent crisis.
So much of school cliques and bullying are based on classism. The cool kids are the ones whose parents can afford to buy them the trendy clothes (and, later, cars). I’m not surprised that wealthy brats go on to be wealthy adults.
they are able to bully their boss into giving them better money during salary negotiations.
Boss’ mind: this guy is crazy, give him what he wants otherwise he’ll come back with a gun. it isn’t my money. fuck it.
it is simple, more women need to disgruntle better /s
I literally giggled at your last sentence.
Somehow, when non-melanated men do it, it’s “assertive,” and when anyone else does it, it’s “threatening.”
It’s a sad hard truth that aggressive bully types do better than the victims of bullying in later life. I myself was bullied and tormented throughout school, by kids who were nasty in their aggression and very physical about it.
I never had kids because I didn’t want to see them experience any of the filth I had to go through. But if I did, I tell them to be the bullies, to go beat the shit out of everyone they can, because that’s the only kind of behavior that really gets rewarded in this world.
Nasty? Sure, because this isn’t: https://kbin.social/m/globalnews@lemmy.zip/t/914616/-/comment/5831174
ETA something about hypocrites and vipers.
Only the actual bullies get the real rewards in life. There is no exception to that rule at all.
No. You were cursed by bullying and rather than break the curse, you embraced and visited it upon others. I tried both and everything in the middle. We’re all in it together, and only as string as the weakest links, and that lesson is about to be revisited to us in a massive way.
Bullying is weak and showcases our own insecurities, our own lack of self worth. Ayn Rand was a charleton and hypocrite, and harking back to the reply about this being year one and all that other pseudo - Crowley, pseudo-Laveyan, pseudo -Rand nonsense, so was Lavey.
The real strength is in forgiveness, compassion for self and others, because as the Buddha (who said not to make a religion of his words but test them ourselves): resentment is like swallowing poison and expecting the resented to die.
Projection “only changes the appearance of reality,” (and usually only to ourselves and the weak minded, those who can’t lead themselves but would lead the world right into utter destruction).
“The real magic is changing reality by changing ourselves.” But I get it. That’s hard, dirty work and involves a lot of “digging up corpses” of our past, dealing with them, then giving them a proper burial. Eeew! Shadow work is messy, painful, stinky and ugly. The effort yields it’s own rewards.
