I'm a child of the 80s and most coming of age films at the time featured some form of high school class and clique hierarchy. There was breakfast club and inevitably someone was bullied and the class levels were apparent.
I believe that part of the current intolerant political landscape was the bully class realizing that they were completely out of power. People could be open about sexuality, they could be successful and ignore popularity and it had become against social mores to be a bully.
And I believe that this group, sensing that they were becoming irrelevant, siezed upon a political faction that embraced them and gave them purpose. And quickly that group became relevant again.
I am betting that this cycle repeats throughout history. As yoh begin to stamp out bullying and macho cruelty, it fights back and grabs power yet again over and over. Meanwhile beta humans go back to
Fearing the alphas as we don't want to fight. And eventually our thoughts turn to suicide.
