When I Want Your Opinion, I'll Give It To You!

Social and Political Bullies, Past and Present

By: Steven Doornbos

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

WHEN I WANT YOUR OPINION, I’LL GIVE IT TO YOU isn’t just a title—it’s a line you’ve probably rehearsed in your head a hundred times and never had the guts to say out loud. Until now.

This book is your front-row seat to the drama of modern-day bullying—social, political, professional, and personal. But this isn’t just about high school flashbacks or the mean girl who ran the locker room. Nope. This is about the boss who cancels your promotion but keeps your ideas. The politician who yells “freedom” while silencing dissent. The keyboard warrior with Wi-Fi and a vendetta. The spiritual leader who preaches peace but bullies through fear. The “friend” who smiles sweetly and stabs quietly.

In these pages, we expose the subtle smirks, the passive-aggressive policies, the gaslighting gurus, and the petty power players. We walk through history, office meetings, online forums, dinner tables, and pulpits to uncover one undeniable truth:

Bullies didn’t vanish—they evolved. And they got better at hiding in plain sight.

But guess what?

We got better at spotting them. And even better at refusing to play their game.

This book is funny. It’s fierce. It’s uncomfortable in all the right ways. But most of all, it’s freeing. You’ll laugh, you’ll nod, you might even shout “FINALLY!” at the page.

Because you’ve been silenced long enough.
