RE: A call to separation of powers in Steemit
Unfortunately, when we get to the point where people are afraid to speak their minds in fear of retaliation that’s a very bad sign.
The general sentiment is very important in social platforms, if it is oppression then chances of success are nonexistent.
I made this post in a positive attempt to make the debate public, which can only be a good thing.
Thank you for your courageous and incisive comment.
when i started to censor myself, this began to seem like just another crappy job where i was waiting for the boss to call me into the office and fire me. if i'm going to have a crappy job like that, i can make way more money somewhere else. i'll have fewer intelligent friends to talk to but, at least i won't have to watch some of the best subjected to the tantrums of unthinking, ignorant brutes.
i have been expecting to be crushed by some easily offended child for a while now. i don't know if i'll stick around to feel the relief of the man who, expecting it for months, was finally hauled off to gulag to be with his neighbors.
who wants to live with the threat of some indolent miscreant coming to take away everything that you've worked for, and even the community has indicated that you are worth.
what are these people contributing but turmoil? their posts are worthless and would be seen to be so were it not for the armies of sycophants lapping up the toxic pablum they excrete that they label as gold.
we should be at least able to vote on their downvotes. if enough of the community votes against their power they should be stripped of it. i am not saying they should be crushed into oblivion as they do to others but, that they that abuse their power should have it taken away.
Wow, these are some very powerful words.
Thank you very much, I'm glad to have the support of such wonderful people here.
i'll do my best until i am crushed.
