RE: $2000 posts? Hypocrisy, Hypocrisy everywhere…@haejin @berniesanders

in #steem7 years ago

It's definitely worrisome... I'm sure berniesanders and his legion of bots have chased away more than one person during his stay on this platform... his actions are nothing short of online bullying.

I think at this point, we can only hope that as the platform gets adopted and more people choose to invest, then the whales get diluted and individual members end up with less and less power.

It's hard to see how that'll happen because their power will grow with the platform, but I'd still guess the platform will grow faster as more people invest. BernieSanders might always have a lot of power on this platform, but at some point he's going to go too far and the entire population will act against him.

The irony of his actions versus the actions of his namesake is incredible.

Sort:  

Yes I found the irony to be somewhat amusing. One thing I have found in life is that at some point people tend to steer away from chaos and those that create it. It's fun for a bit to stir things up, but at a point, people will begin to take a hard look at where all the trouble is really coming from. It's good to defend an ideal, so long as you don't place yourself in a situation whereas your integrity and sincerity in its defense can be questioned. When that happens, at least in my experience the tide can turn quickly against the aggressor, and rabble rouser. Will that happen here? I don't know as there is financial incentive to go along and upvote the inflammatory posts in the form of curation rewards.
