Analogy: We're at school together and I'm bullying someone. You know that if you can get me to stop bullying, the bullied kid will give you some of his lunch every day (and his mom makes amazing lunches). So you lobby and persuade your classmates to boycott me. I no longer have any friends as long as I bully that one kid. Now, if I don't stop bullying other kids will eventually get angry at me, so much that I would have to move to another school. So I should stop bullying. A very simple solution, but if I'm too ignorant to just stop bullying I have it coming to me that I have to change schools... And maybe you're a bit of a bully yourself sometimes, but still it's better if I stop bullying.
