Outspoken libertarians aren't going to be bullied in college - outspoken anything in college generally leads to people ignoring you. College students that think they're being bullied most likely attribute normal behavior to bullying - just like incels treat normal human interactions as impediments to getting laid.

Your first sentence is somewhat correct, I'd argue that dealing with any kind of absolute like you have done is incredibly dumb though. Of course being outspoken can get you bullied. It may be less likely in a university/college setting, but it's definitely gonna happen. And your second second sentence is so wrong it's almost comical. Bullying at a tertiary education level is so common that I guarantee there's a bunch of studies done on it and probably a wiki page for it too.

Edit: lol, yep, shit loads of studies (and there's plenty more to be found than just these few), and the wiki exists.

This. The specific problem my alma mater ran into was all the conservative students saying they were getting bullied, and when asked how they were bullied, the response was basically "People disagreed with me and now they don't want to hang out with me!"

Sometimes I wonder if they'd actually been bullied, if their tune would've been different...
