A free person is a victim only of themselves

A bully or tyrant is similar to a slaveowner in that they take advantage of the situation of other people who are (being) unable to get away. When we would prefer not to be around someone, but for the fact that we must earn a living, or get an education, or for some other reason, then that person may be acting as a bully, because in some sense we have no choice to avoid them. They (the bully) are exploiting our lack of freedom. They think we cannot get away and as a result will treat us not as we might wish. We cannot be subject to bullying if we are free.

The bully and tyrant exploits a lack of freedom, for some reason. They are an idiot.
