    Where I’m from originally, it’s perfectly fine to hit someone for bullying you. Nine times out of ten the bully is weak him/herself and cowers if you “return in kind” of how they treat you. I don’t know why many Westerners are reluctant to hit a bully. But my guess is that the fear of litigation is the bigger fear.

      Because were taught that violence is wrong and that we should talk through everything, not “stoop to their level”. Incidentally that also allows the elite to stay in power without getting guillotined.
