RE: My take on Flags and this Weeks Flag war

in #steem5 years ago

You are messing up beliefs and opinions. Belief (in a flat earth, God, the absence of climate change etc.) must never be regarded as an opinion (something that can be changed in a person) because it never can be changed from the outside. The only way to deal with it is acceptance. Acceptance you won't get from the other person because that person feels major.

Sort:  

Well, belief and opinion are closely related and often one is based on the other. But that is not important in this context. All I'm saying is that it should not be the reason to flag someone. Flagging should happen based on certain strict rules - and more than just a " I dont think so" or "I dont like this".

I don't think it was on a "I don't like this" level. It's not new that there's no consensus on (any) truth. Ever met a vegan who is not consumed with the thought that there could be no animal slaughter which does not harm animals?
Take a look at @caladium and @mepatriot, if you need an example for what goes beyond "liking content". Or check out similar German blogs like @isabellaklais, @roozbehbayat or @wissenskrieger. The first one seems to be on a mission to destroy a political system which (in my eyes) is not as overrated as she presents it. And she doesn't feel like discussing her viewpoint either.

Yeah, after having slept over it once or twice I don't feel a need for a category #informationwar and a @truthbot who vote and publish information about how harmful vaccination is or about the bad bad democrats in US congress. To me, there's no alternative to vaccination to keep a global society healthy. Everyone can get anywhere within a few hours. Travelling and immigration have been vectors for spread of diseases for ages. How could there be a need to discuss that or a human climate change which (in my opinion) is a result of increasing goods and people transport?
