I think the solution is for all the non assholes to work together to stamp out the assholes and remove them from having power. Incredibly difficult, but not impossible. It's the same class war that's been waged by the wealthy for decades. Theyve never stopped attacking, we just suck at working together and have allowed them to gain waaaay too much ground.

They're always going to be on the bus, but we can at least push them to the back where they can't fuck with where we want to go.

I think you just need equal power and more horizontal structures, nothing to abuse then.
