    I’m not going to get into popular culture memes, but the root cause you’ve stated is correct;

    It’s all rooted in insecurity, which is fear. It’s all rooted in fear, and a general deeply rooted inferiority complex.

    But instead of working through the fear, into self-awareness, they decide they’re not the problem. Everyone else is bullying them. Then they decide to be cruel, to strike back, when sadly, they never realize their attitude is the problem, the whole time.

    These people should be pitied, and there should an attempt to be helped. To a degree. Sometimes, it’s a lost cause. Especially when they inherit resources that allow them to continue their delusion, with minimal to no consequences. Sometimes, you just have to cut some people loose, and cut all contact.

    We know who those people are.
