https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc8NT23gelI if you are going to read my post please watch this video beforehand because I'm going to spoil it later on in the text.
Ok so here is a set of rules I stick to and have picked up through both being bullied/trolled and being a bully/troll. Every1 please feel free to add their own insight and/or poke holes in my philosophy so we can all come to better, more airtight conclusions.
Bullies/trolls online:
The thing about people online especially on a forum like this is that we are basically on the same playing field. We all start out as completely equal. We register our usernames and passwords with no link to our emails, no matter how big and strong you are or weak and small you are IRL it is completely irrelevant.
Rule 1: The law of exposure:
Don't expose anything about yourself that you are not prepared to be attacked or made fun of for. I feel like this is common sense. But in studying my own psychopathy I am finding out that what I feel is common sense, tends to not end up being common sense to normal people. The video I linked at the beginning of the video, I spotted the weak one instantly, I even said out loud "The redhead she has a limp!". If I am a mugger in the ghetto, of course I am going to pick someone like that, if I see a guy on crutches, I know he can't run away. With the redhead I wouldn't even need a weapon. She is lucky she hasn't been raped into walking properly yet. It's common sense to me that I wouldn't expose anything online I wasn't prepared to be made fun or for or attacked about. When I take dark triad tests online though I consistently test extremely high on Machiavellianism. My browser is set up to only work through a proxy, I can't even get on unless I am using someone else's I.P. I would never dream of posting a picture of myself online. I would never expose anything I was truly vunerable about online either. Looking at this though, and why it seems like such a no-brainer, I can objectively analyze that this way of thinking comes from my childhood. I always had to hide things, my father stole all the money I had twice in my life, AS A TEENAGER. Once it was a couple grand the next time it was almost 10 grand. My parents stole my laptop, they would keep my keys if they found them as leverage to do xyz whatever they wanted me to do. So I just naturally developed this very Machiavellian way of being. I have literally 0 friends IRL. No one really knows what do for a living. I am either a ghost or I am a very "in your face" intimidating bullying (very often violent) person. So although it seems like common sense to me to hide everything about yourself, I guess it's not for most people, so strive to be more Machiavellian especially online and dealing with sociopaths lol.
Rule 2: Turn it around or take it further.
Anytime some1 makes fun of me online, I look at what they said, and I either try to somehow turn it around on them, or I just take the joke further to my expense. It shows I am not effected at all. If some1 says you look like Justin Bieber you can say "That must be why ur gf wont stop PMing me" (the turn-around) or "Yeah I'm actually his older sister, been trying to teach him to be more manly.".
Rule 3: Never ever show you have been effected by the troll
When you show them you are actually hurt or effected by what they are saying. They actually feed off this. They go further with it, knowing they've hit a weak spot. If they HAVE hit a weak spot and DID hurt your feelings. That is the absolute last thing you want to communicate to them. They see it as victory when they actually get to you.
Dealing with bullies IRL:
dealing with bullies IRL is a whole different ball game. It can be much more of an un-even playing field but only if you let it. Dominating others and making them submit to you is not a "might is right" game, it's a problem solving game. The reason people bully is because it works, it is often times the most effective way to get exactly what you want, which is why I bully a lot IRL and strive to learn how to be a better bully. In the book "power: why some people have it and other's don't". They did studies finding that why workplace bullying was so prevalent was because it was so effective. If you want something from someone and your persuasive advances don't work or are not appropriate in this situation, the two best ways to get someone to do/give you what you want is force, and fear.
1. Bullying in situations where physical force is not appropriate: workplace, social groups, etc
In this environment it is about 1 thing, problem solving. It is about finding creative ways to outsmart your rival, enemy, target, mark, etc. No matter how little power you think you have, you always can find creative ways to gain a lot of power over your opponent. It is just about thinking creatively. If they are your boss, you think they have all this power over you, but in actuality they may be the more vunerable ones. You could more easily than you think make THEM your bitch, using information about them as leverage, going over their head with this information. You could get a background check on them, find a criminal past, and use that. I record every conversation I ever have with this app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appstar.callrecorder&hl=en, and I send these recordings to my email. Whenever I interact with people I am recording all day every day with this http://www.bestbuy.com/site/sony-digital-voice-recorder-black/8572041.p?id=1218879313495&skuId=8572041 and I just save it to my computer and change the batteries frequently. I save every single text message I get from people. I am constantly looking with very open eyes for vulnerabilities in any1 and every1 around me, because although they may be your best friend now or some1 you would least suspect of betrayal, those are usually the ones that if it ever comes to it, can fuck you up the most. Because your guard wasn't up with them. There is an excellent saying "Be careful of the ones you like". It's the people you "let in" and expose your vulnerabilities to that you are giving suffiecient ammo to later destroy you if need be. We have all experienced this. In this book https://www.amazon.com/You-Can-Negotiate-Anything-Negotiator/dp/0553281097 the author Herb Cohen talks about no matter how little power you think you have, you can always find creative ways to have tremendous power over someone.
2. Situations where violence often does happen: prison, school, jail, dealing with people who wont call the cops (E.G bad neighborhoods, drug dealers, gangs, etc)
Here again is an idea that I thought was common sense but seems to be more exclusive to psychopaths. Always take it way further than they will. If you're going to try to beat my ass I'm going to stab you, if I feel like you're the kinda guy that would try to stab me I'm going to kill you. If I feel like you're just going to yell or act intimidating towards me I am going to try my best to kick the shit out of you and if I start to lose I will use whatever is around or I will come prepared with a knife so I can stick you. Always go way further than they will because then they will never try to fuck with you again. In the book "wisdom of psychopaths" the auhor finds this to be a pretty consistent philosophy among psychopaths. It gives your opponent the feeling that they are beaten before they even start, you are willing to take it to a place they aren't, so why even bother? If I know I don't have the balls for a knife fight why I would I try to beat up a guy who does? This is my motto "Train light a champion, fight like a pussy". I am result oriented, all I care about is one thing, winning. I will use whatever is necessary and never give up until I do, if you beat me, you better kill me, because otherwise I am going to find a creative way to even the score. Use whatever is around hot coffee, a chair, a vase, ur moms vibrator, whatever will do the trick. It might not seem like it, but physical bullying is just like non-physical bullying in the way that it is more about creative problem solving than anything. If your husbands is bullying you and wants to get violent. Call the cops immediately after the first incident. Trust me on this one. If you are weaker than a big guy use a weapon that gives YOU the advantage. Hire someone else to beat the shit out of them. Attack them in their sleep, throw bleach into their eyes, find a creative way of attack. Remember, fight like a pussy. Be result oriented and don't care what any1 thinks. The first thing I do when I wake up is start lifting weights, I workout every day and continue to get stronger. But in a fight I strive to fight like a pussy, because a pussy has no boundries, and some1 without boundries always has the odds in their favor. Sun Tzu (the art of war) is the best model for this, he was a considered a coward and a pussy by his peers but was a more effective general than all of them. Because like a psychopath he didn't care what any1 thought of him, and was result oriented.
