YAY ANARCHY TAG - 12 out of 15 Trending Posts @adamkokesh! PEOPLE MUST LOVE FREEDOM!
Oh wait. He's just using delegated SP to give 80 ~ 100 dollar upvotes to himself.
Glad to see this aspiring politician cares about the Steem community!
That's okay. I am sure it will be different when he is responsible with billions and billions of dollars worth of donations, land, and assets when he and his "custodians" assume central control and he becomes "not president!"

Graham Smith is a Voluntaryist activist, creator, and peaceful parent residing in Niigata City, Japan. Graham runs the "Voluntary Japan" online initiative with a presence here on Steem, as well as DTube and Twitter. (Hit me up so I can stop talking about myself in the third person!)
Hey, I've got no gripe with self upvotes etc. and using Steemit as you can.
I might be mistaken, but I think Kafka may have the same mentality as me, one should 'practice what they preach'. Steemit is really a mirror into the kind of person you are. If you are community minded, you give back and take only what you need. If you are out for purely selfish gains, you upvote just yourself and run with the money with no regard for other contributers. Of course there is everything in between.
Now I have not seen how many upvotes he gives to his commenters or others on the platform and so don't know if this is purely down to selfish reasons alone, but I do find it disappointing that one who speaks about giving to all and building a community seems to be doing the opposite. We don't need more of the same trying to get into office.
As a "greedy Anarcho-Capitalist," nor do I. None at all. As I've said to others, just stating my market preference. Kokesh doesn't seem to me to really give a damn about the platform at all beyond how it can help him politically.
I want zero platform level regulation. Just calling things as I see them to alert other users.
Thanks for the clarification! At first I thought: Wait a minute. Didn't he say upvoting your own posts was alright? Then I saw your comment :)
As libertarians it can always be frustrating when people interpret your opinion has something you want to impose on others. That's not how it works! It's just advice, not an order.
Right. Kokesh is also using delegated SP to do this, and one of his delegators has expressed some displeasure regarding the recent upvoting sprees.
I am also interested to know what happened to all the donations that the Kokesh camp received to ostensibly get him out of jail. Thousands of dollars were raised via this fundraiser (among others, if I am not mistaken):
https://kokesh.revv.co/wise
But in the end he didn't even pay bail:
Big-hearted Steemians donated lots of cash for this express purpose. @thejohalfiles sent 6,000 Gs for posting bail. What happened to this money and all the rest that has been raised? All we got was this weird video from Adam's personal assistant which leaves more questions than answers:
In the video he says that the money donated to the LP wasn't from the bail donations, but also that the bail wasn't paid and that the money was donated to the LP. A real head scratcher there.
The Kokesh camp has a bit of a history of being surrounded by controversy and criticism regarding financial dealings. Combine that with him self-upvoting comments calling people cowards at 100 dollars, other flame-thready, snark comments of his own at 20 dollars, and it starts to smell like maybe, just maybe, there's a rat in the house.
Wanna see more folks asking these questions. Did he ever tell these folks where their donations went?
For me the sad part is that I was talking to a steemian in Venezuela who does charity down there of feeding people with STEEM donations about setting up a computer in the school he donates food to so that the community could learn steemit.com and feed themselves and he felt like $25 SBD was such a great sum he was reticent to even throw it out there. I am thinking about doing my own fundraiser if he does not.
Really? Who’s the dude?
actually his name is @bigdude!
We discussed it here, we need $25 SBD for the computer and then 10 a month for service
Oh wow, yeah I would be well pissed if I donated for the bail. I didn't even know he ended up not having to pay it :o
The state is still coddled by so many who continue to believe that public policy can improve the quality of their lives. Be sure to visit and follow @escapeamericanow and @policyofliberty
Yeah, I posted this about freedom of speech and I noticed the same thing on a few of the tags. "#smokehash" c'mon man I think name calling is beneath you, and in my mind I always read #adamcokehead.
Yeah. Just another day on the Blockchain. There are a growing number of tags dominated by single votes, mostly from the author of the post, or an auto from a 'fellow club member'.
A bit deflating really, especially when you are not upvoting your own posts, and buy delegated SP so you can lease yours out for nothing.
The gift economy will fall flat on its arse if this continues.
Steemit should take action for this
I don't think Steemit should. I think the market should, and is, as seen by recent actions of other individual market actors regarding @adamkokesh.
That is ridiculous bro! Raping the reward pool!
I guess
Kokesh is not legit in any way. He is a psy op intended to discredit marginal political movements in the united states.
It is well known that david brock and podesta themselves arranged for people armed with assault rifles to show up at tea party meetings, same now goes for libertarian meetings.
He gets huge upvotes also from other misinformation sites and his beliefs are incoherent, now it's obvious he's milking the cow for operational funds.
Then he gets busted with mushrooms and guns in his RV, is it yet obvious how this is intentionally draining and discrediting the movement? It's very calculated.
Anyone who thinks that following this guy anywhere is going to lead anywhere but prison is delusional.
Im sorry. I dont have SBD. Just 1 SBD. But i like the freedom post
I'm glad somebody pointed it out! A true ANARCHIST doesn't spend all day and night sat on a computer. We go outside and definatly don't sit in a house, we SHARE and learn of ways to be living without PAYING TO EXIST
( does Adam create his own electric,enough to be online so often and not pay someone for it???)
I vote he should stop tagging in anarchy and get his own one if he has so many follwers ..
I salute to this politician, great post!
You would, @reatimtim.
