Throughout history, humanity has unspoken rules on how to interact in society. One of these rules is that it's perfectly ethical to bully the weak in order to make them stronger or to weed them out of the gene pool. For tens of thousands of years we as a species have not only practiced this rule but some human societies have openly welcomed bullying as a viable strategy to create a strong military force in order to safeguard their society.
However, in the advent of the last bullying cycle (WW2), we have seen a decline of bullying to a point where it's often viewed as childish and immoral to bully someone who is weak. It's gotten so bad that those who take great pleasure in bullying have now resorted to finding a vague moral justification to bully them and have to use mob tactics to hide their true intentions. In many ways it's hypocritical and disgusting to do such actions and disregard the true ethics of bullying.
This is my proposal: we can create an institution that has one true & honest goal. That goal is to make bullying a virtuous & ethical course in our day to day interactions with other humans in order to make humanity stronger and to have a solid relationship to how our ancestors interact with each other. If you disagree with this thesis please keep in mind you are entering a social contract to spar me in an effort to bully and I will spar back in order to retain my status as a bully.
