I didn't think you were too naive. If that was the case I wouldn't bother replying. I'm a person who considered John Galt a slight disappointment and bit naive (Basically I'm not the kind of person who looks in the mirror and think I'm awesome. I'm a bit obsessive perfectionist) The main reason I called you naive was that you went on to discuss with an entity and got downvoted by a small army which I'd totally expect from the entity you are dealing with. I mean this post which declined payouts got downvoted: https://steemit.com/abuse/@lukestokes/whales-you-have-some-flagging-to-do

So did this post: https://steemit.com/eos/@dan/does-freedom-require-radical-transparency-or-radical-privacy which I also consider a bit naive (look for the comments. The smart people of steemit beat me to practically all my points at different comments.

Nice to meet an INTJ. I have someclose friends who are ENTJ, INTP, ESTP and I'm an ENTP. The first thing I notice of anything is the cracks and flaws. I've mentioned this in a bunch of places. TLDR is there is no point talking about it with these bad actors. You'd have a better time wrestling with a pig. Never think that these "leaders" of these redistributive flags would ever be good guys. I think absolute evil is impossible. But I also remember that there were many who attempted to kill Buddha and his disciples and some succeeded. Jesus was also successfully crucified.

I might actually come across like Ragnar Danneskjöld (who incidentally was the philosopher of the group.) or an anarcho-capitalist calling out minarchists. I stick with my don't talk just upvote and maybe flag if you are willing to engage in a war. There is no point in talking with wolves about being vegetarian. It's a waste. Spreading some awareness about the wolves is good. You've done that and people have figured things out. Just relax and have peace. Don't bother with discussions with certain kinds of people. Read the comments of https://steemit.com/abuse/@lukestokes/whales-you-have-some-flagging-to-do and you'll see why I called you naive.

Happy steeming and a Happy New Year!
