Both Sides Root for the Bully

Once upon a time...
One of the most exhausting thing about bothsidism is that the Bully in a situation wins. This is extremely tiring to see, and it works out thus: a Bully hits or picks on someone, to the point that the person finally hits back. The person who was tormented is then blamed as being equally bad to the Bully that started it.
People who think otherwise ought to consider the types of stories they enjoy. Do you like ones where a Hero defeats a Villain? Well, I'm sorry, the Hero is just as bad as the Villain for fighting back. That's where this bothsidism goes. There's neither Right nor Wrong, nor Truth of any kind, only a relativism that encourages the worst types of human behavior because we cannot, dare not, say that people have a right to defend themselves or fight back against oppression.
