Outspoken libertarians aren’t going to be bullied in college - outspoken anything in college generally leads to people ignoring you. College students that think they’re being bullied most likely attribute normal behavior to bullying - just like incels treat normal human interactions as impediments to getting laid.
Your first sentence is somewhat correct, I’d argue that dealing with any kind of absolute like you have done is incredibly dumb though. Of course being outspoken can get you bullied. It may be less likely in a university/college setting, but it’s definitely gonna happen. And your second second sentence is so wrong it’s almost comical. Bullying at a tertiary education level is so common that I guarantee there’s a bunch of studies done on it and probably a wiki page for it too.
Edit: lol, yep, shitloadsofstudies (and there’s plenty more to be found than just these few), and the wiki exists.
Genuine answer: annoying people who inject themselves into social circles in which they’re unwelcome. And, no, I’m not defending bullying. I’m just explaining how it happens.
Yeah… This maybe isn’t the nicest way to phrase it, but I’ve seen similar situations. Usually people are just kind of talking behind people’s backs, but sometimes it gets nasty :(. Frankly people kind of get bullied all the time everywhere. It’s maybe not as violent as playground bullying but people will be shitty to people at work, school, whatever. Do your best not to be a part of it, try to be self aware if you might hurt somebody else’s feelings, and try to stand up for people.
Every time I look at the comments for one of these posts, that’s what’s going on at the top. I can usually see where people are coming from even if it sounds insane but I don’t know what this community’s problem is. Maybe a coping strategy from being bullied themselves? It could make them feel like they were in control of it. I’ve seen that from victims of trauma before.vThat’s all I’ve got for theories.
Who fucking gets bullied in college?
People who didn’t get bullied enough in high school and are usually outspoken libertarians.

Or just go postal, that tends to end the cycle.
Also the idiot with samurai swords on the wall and a lack of good hygiene skills.
They just hang out with the other comp-sci students.
The other comp-sci students are the one bullying him because they don’t want him around, either.
Assholes who become tabacco peddlers.

Members of the LGBT+ community, for one. People who are neurodivergent commonly face bullying as well.
Honestly though, you’re right.
And this thread is nuts with the victim blaming. Like holy shit, society really does deserve its problems.

Who still buys tobacco?
The poor (statistically)
interesting & weird since tobacco is exhorbitantly expensive. How can poor people afford it?
Maybe you swapped the cause and effect. Instead of “How do poor people smoke” you could ask “Why are smokers poor”.
And then you’ve already answered your question
One problem causes the other until it’s impossible to determine which problem came first. It’s a snake eating its own tail.
Why are you asking me?
Fine then, keep your secrets
It’s rhetorical, it just seemed to fit well with your question
Kids are mean (yes you are still kid when you’re an undergrad)
