The dolphins, part 2; The minions/ The self righteous bullies

2018-7-17
Apparently busy.org does not save over 3 drafts.
This is not why it lost my draft that it lost.
For those that missed, here is part 1:
https://steemit.com/steemit/@stimialiti/the-dolphins-are-not-better-than-the-whales
please do not upvote part 1, because it is already expired/paid off/too late to upvote, and voting expired content only spams the blockchain and annoys.
I see a lot of preaching from dolphins, that preach their followers, mostly plankton and minnows the same morals that the whales should have adhered to.
Some whales do, but those whom did not are enough to justify an arm race and growth almost at all means.
There is no single good whale.
Most of the dolphins (over 1000SP, or did Steem inflation redefined it to over 2000SP since then?) became dolphins by receiving a generous single upvote from a premined account during the early stages of STEEM (during the year 2016).
They feel gratitude, and I feel the same too when upvoted generously, but why should it be enough to forget or forgive the lasting sin of premine?
The whales did not have to lick ass in order to get to their status, and a single or 5 upvotes by a whale does not promote one to a whale status.
The dolphins got so addicted to their 2nd class citizenship, due to STINC's relentless efforts to suppress newer joiners

That they forget that they are only 2nd class and will probably never get to be 1st class.
This is how much they forget the wrong that was done against themselves, and obviously, they care even less about the newer joiners.
In fact they do care, they care that the new joiners will become educated and disciplined, and behave the way the whales should have behaved.
However, they know that the whales will not adhere to their preaches, and they will not dare to flag a whale, but they would much rather flag you if you self voted your own comment while replying to a user whom at best will upvote you with a tiny fraction of his not so big anyway power, without upvoting him.
This is the new STEEM etiquette, promoted by the elected minions.
They either receive delegations, or votes to their witness nodes, which provide them with nice producer rewards.
This is the whales' way of suppression by proxy:

1. Demoralization (brainwash and indoctrination by preaches and double standards)
2. Bullying (downvotes against weaker users; "the stick")
3. Pretense of generosity (Those smallish fraction votes they give out of their mediocre power, which is also usually below 90% its maximal ability ; "the carrot")
4. Collusion (mutual support through official and secret voting guilds (A.K.A. "circle jerks") and occasional support from their patron whale/s)
