RE: How NOT to Use STEEMIT: Don't Be a Castrated Pushover
It's so much more fun to disagree. With inteligence and arguments of course.
The problem with the flag war for the small people is that, no one want to take the first shot. Especially when that shot will probably kill you.
There is the need of some support of most of the big guys, specially to heal the wounds caused by the fire.
Let's put this situation on a frame of a true war:
There will be casualties, yes, but there is also the medics.
The majority of the common people (in this case, us minnows), will only stand up an fight if there is enough support from those who actually have big powers.
If you are a big whale but dont want to be on the aggressive side of the war (flaggin), the least you should do is to mitigate the damage caused by the war. Find people that suffered collateral damage, and give them big upvotes to help them recover from their wounds.
That simple action would actually encourage the low power people to fight for what they believe.
Be the red cross, and help the wounded.
A lot of great comments here in this section, you're one of them... you get it.
The problem is that the whales who can do something about it stick their heads in the sand. The whale I talked with was the abused party and even him/her (not revealing identity) just said wanted no troubles.
Everyone just shrinks when it comes to them, instead of lashing out.
A Shame.
Like i said, you inspired me. Check my latest post. Resteem it if you like it. Maybe some whales will get the message and at least do something to mitigate the collateral damage.
I already went to see it and vote on it... you mentioned a lot of people there... luckilly no one from there is a flagger :p
Well, If someone flag a post like that that kind of shows How much of a Dick that person is...
But i mostly marked the people that i already Saw that dont want to get involved.
