Not sure what you're saying are not the same things. Doug says it's time to bring back bullying and bully the ever living fuck out of people. That's what I'm talking about, so it's not clear what's not the same thing to bullying.
"Not complying" is not the same thing as "bullying the ever living fuck out of people." Not attending a sportsball or stagedance event that mandates masks/vaxxes is not the same thing as "bullying the ever living fuck out of people" but it is also consistent with "not complying." Leaving behind the society that's gone insane is not "bullying the ever living fuck out of people" but it is "not complying."
Have you ever changed your own mind after someone has treated you with contempt? Have you ever chosen to live your life the way the contemptuous wanted you to? Even if you had chosen that life, did you do so because you saw the right of it after they had shown you contempt?
There is more to this world than doing the things you want to do. You are growing and nurturing a soul, and holding others in contempt or beneath you and acting upon that hinders your progress and your capacity for love —especially love for *yourself*.
Now, you might not accept that perspective and disagree: understandable. But I'm sure you've known many times in your life where you saw people doing what they felt was good and enjoyed mocking or treating others with contempt, but you were able to see right into their core and recoiled. I've never known a single contemptuous person who modeled decency, honor, compassion, thoughtfulness, or cared for those too muddled to make it through to help them through it. Have you ever known a contemptuous person who inspired confidence and courage in the people around them?
Not the same thing. To comply is to be complicit, and those complicit should be treated with the contempt they deserve.
