RE: Some thoughts on voting and bots
true, I guess his motivation is just sending it to the top so more see it. If you have money you are important here and deserve more I guess.

The rich having more power is definitely a property of steem. We could discuss if that is a bad thing and how it can be fixed but that would probably mean ditching proof of stake.
the problem is that we keep trying to use capitalism to fix the faults of capitalism. There is no "good" network we could make that functions on these ideals
Check out abundance societies, they are not capitalism.
I was talking about steem, but alright it sounds interesting
alright are you talking about post scarcity? I was hoping it would be something different but that's all that came up.
Steem is not capitalism. In capitalism, rewards would be given directly from the consumer to the authors. That is not the case here.
capitalism is private ownership of capital. I'm not talking about your special brand of "ultra-super free market consumer orientated trickle-down capitalism"
Yeah, but the rewards pool does not function as privately owned capital.
steem power
I understand your point, but it is still not the same. He doesn't have to give away his wealth in order to spend reward pool money. The reward pool is owned by the Steem community and distributed according to a set of unnatural rules.
"The reward pool is owned by the Steem community and distributed according to a set of unnatural rules."
capitalism itself is an unnatural rule. Private property can only exist through force
"He doesn't have to give away his wealth in order to spend reward pool money."
that has nothing to do with capitalism. Its just investment capital, the most destructive form.
" He doesn't have to give away his wealth in order to spend reward pool money"
actually they lose the opportunity to use it on themselves, so even if its not relevant its still wrong
We can try to justify his actions in a multitude of ways but at the end of the day, he too is responsible for his so-called "#rewardpoolrape"
That hypocrisy is what I'm trying to highlight over here. If a minnow had been doing the same thing, you and many others would down vote them. But since Bernie sanders is the "All-powerful" one on this platform, you people choose to ignore his wrongs simply because he fights against spam and reward pool rape (while doing those things himself)
This kind of bias from users like you is exactly what I'm trying to point out when you constantly defend his wrongs but unfortunately I can't keep arguing against a brick wall forever.
He was literally screaming reward pool rape at steemauto's post while upvoting each of his threats and posts with his sock puppet accounts. But sure. Support his arrogance, abusive nature and greed in the hopes that one of these days he'll upvote your comments too.
did you just tell a communist that he defends the ruling class? Disgusting
actually its so that he can ignore me long enough to get a foot hold and spread communism unchecked. Also I know he is doing it to support his own agenda but discussion is better than blind hate.
You have been flagged, likely because you are attempting to take advantage of the reward pool. Please see my daily post for more detailed reasoning. Thank you.
