I am really upset about the murder plot against Justin Beiber. I am glad that it was foiled, but, still, it upsets me.
I'm not a Justin Beiber fan, but that doesn't mean I hate him. I see lots of hate messages against him on YouTube. Any time he appears on a video there are hate messages below.
It's as if he attracts bullies like a magnet.
They hate the fact that he sings in a high voice. They hate the fact that he seems a bit effeminate. These things enrage them.
Why?
It seems to be some kind of bizarre, criminal instinct on the part of certain people.
I note that the plotters were in prison. They say that bullies tend to end up as criminals, so I guess it makes sense that bullies would be worst in prison.
This seems to be an example of what goes on daily in schoolyards, where kids who don't match some ideal are plagued with bullying. This has been a particular concern to me, because my kids and I have Asperger's Syndrome. That means that we were the sort of people who attracted bullies as well. I identify with Justin in this respect.
Somehow this basic process where people who are different get bullied needs to be cut off, if true civilization is to be achieved.
I notice that Tom Cruise, one of my favorite actors, seems to attract haters and bullies as well, which also concerns me.
