This is a pretty bleak look at the future tbh. Guess the bullies won in the end, except this time the bullies believe they are in the right.

I feel pretty comfortable saying that all bullies feel they are right.

Nah. Plenty know that they're doing what they want at the expense of other people. But the bullies who think they're doing something good are the most dangerous, since they don't have any moral qualms about how far they take things.

I suspect many bullies are indifferent to right or wrong.

The bullies at the top are getting worried that people are standing up to them.

Maybe. To me this article is useful because it precisely bounds the size of the group that genuinely feels this way. 13%. Not that large, really. Could a determined company get rid of half of those, sending a strong message to the other half to get back to work? Yeah, definitely. Could you refuse to hire people with these views without significantly losing out in the market for skilled employees? I think so, especially as they skew young (i.e. inexperienced).

It wasn't really clear before how large this group of radicals is because they are so aggressive and noisy. But they're a small minority.

I can't connect anything in the article to bullying.

Don't bullies always believe they are in the right?
