is it because its a juvenile term and its time to use the serious terms (harassment? sexual harassment? assault?) is it because most people stop getting bullied in high school and its something that happens almost exclusively to the neurodivergents? is it because were adutls and have other things to worry about? why are people this resistant to this. even in more progressive spaces ive been told to toughen up/move on? whats hapening
On your post i responded also and my response was strongly in favor of defending welfare programs. I disagree with what OP wrote there. It is entirely fine to engage in a heated discussion on this topic on that thread because that is what that thread was for. What i am objecting to is dragging a disagreement from one post into another completely unrelated post. This creates a toxic and un-comradely atmosphere.
We should also not jump straight to the most uncharitable possible interpretation of what a comrade says. This is not a space where you need to be that defensive. You are among comrades, not among reactionaries who want to harm you. If you think someone is wrong explain to them how and why their view is wrong and potentially harmful. Do not directly accuse them of deliberately wanting to do harm.
Personal attacks do not help. Education does.
