IMO most bullies take refuge in numbers. It is a well understood phenomenom.

Most of the times bullying gets started when an important person in a given
group kickstarts it, thus everybody within the group feels as they are given
permission to partake.

At that point it is random people within the group doing the bullying because it
is the "cool" thing to do, and groups obtain a huge sense of identity by pissing
or antagonizing people outside of the group.

I don't think there is much anonymous bullying. Lots of the times when it is
anonymous is done so they can reveal later on " It was us fucking with this guy,
hahahaha".
