RE: How is the Flagging Whale-Votes Experiment Going?
No, it was not just words and votes that did all those things you listed. It was people with weapons threatening violence against others. Nobody on steemit has any military power to threaten others with. Our votes and words here are not backed by threats of assault like those of governments are.
No. Just because you say it doesn't make it so. When Gerinkh Yagoda joined like-minded war criminals, no one held a gun to his head. All they used were words.
Woodrow Wilson signed the Federal Reserve System into law, and the sole means of getting him to do that were words and votes. Nobody held a gun to his head.
My point is exactly that military power is unnecessary to create oppression. Our words and votes here are backed with threats of financial assault. Just ask @krnel.
