I'll say my opinion on this. Bullying people who are degenerates, well, I'd be 100% on board with. But, see, the problem is that bullying is usually doing BY the degenerates. In middle schools, the soon-to-be-doctor nerd is mocked and humiliated by the soon-to-be dropout bully just for being intelligent. Now, sane people are mocked by TRAs for making sense. Bullying doesn't work because it tends to always work in reverse. The worst people bullying the best ones because they stand out.

Bullying is still happening, but as you say, it's now a far more 'mean girl' type of bullying mostly perpetrated in the open by the hardcore intersectionalists. I think bullying is perversely necessary however for just the reason you illustrate. It's an important way for one to build resilience, even if it's unpleasant.
