I see. So, of all the bullies you know from the time you've been alive, how many in berating others actually did end the idiocy around them? How many of the bullies you've known were actually the good people who lived out their values and inspired others to become compassionate and caring and thoughtful people?
Think of just yourself. When the people who try to bully and ridicule you into mask complaince try it on you, does it work? Do you think someone bullying you and ridiculing you and humiliating you ever will work to change you?
Or will it just make you comply yourself to get over with it? Or will it make you more resistant and angry and frustrated and less likely to agree with them?
I don't think you're thinking it through, but then since you're advocating bullying people into ending a political situation you do not like, you're being consistent with the logic. You want Power to force others to change into people whom you can tolerate, or at least be indifferent towards. Bullying and ridiculing people is what you have available, since you are not on the side who has the monopoly on violence. So, unless you shake off the logic of Power and recognize it for what it is doing to your soul, you won't see how you're part of the world that promotes and fosters "this idiocy."
Not all of the complicit are the compliant. Some of the complicit are the ones who believe they most defy it.
