In the good old days leaving a severed horse head on someone’s bed was just “intimidation,” “mafia tactics,” and perhaps a bit of extortion or blackmail.
We regarded intimidation as a criminal behaviour rather than a political strategy to be rewarded.
This is separate from standover tactics where you would physically invade another person’s “personal space”.
“Bullying” was low grade psychological and physical abuse. Still unwanted and discouraged but at no point we’re you worried that you would die, lose fingers or find severed animal heads in your bed.
