Seem to be assuming there is a higher purpose for bullying, which seems to be making a mistake along the same lines as the parable of group selection.
Possibly bullies bully because they enjoy it and aren't stopped from doing so. What additional explanation is needed?
Well, as a kid I got bullied at school, quite a bit, and I DO remember bullying other a handful of times.
I remember being conscious about it and feeling like shit for it, but at the same time being so relieved because as long as someone else was being bullied, I wasn't.
I certainly did not enjoy it, mainly because it contradicted my vision of myself as a courageous victim.
