Hey kyraicos. I appreciate your feedback. I didn't down vote this post nor did I engage in discussion to support either side. However, I did down-vote a comment of yours. This was a cumulative response to the 20 or so previous comments from you each with venomous spitting and discourteous attacks. Whether my down-vote on your comment was right or wrong I'll leave up to you. I didn't down-vote any of those previous comments either to be clear.
There's plenty of room for vitriol and nastiness here, and I don't mean to be anyone's baby sitter/ police-man. It is difficult for me to take you seriously when every point is accompanied with insults. As I've said before, I hope moving forward we can get some healthy conversations as I believe your thoughts are worth listening to and shouldn't be ignored.
@enki
I advice you to check what I am doing the last 3 days when I speak. I actually copy and paste the exact words so i don't fall to the fallacy of paraphrasing or straight up lying like sterlin did (e.g calling m communist). It is amasing in what traps the mind can trick us when we are emotionally vulrenable and blind to an idea.
There was never such thing. If you think it is then I advice you to check the image on the reply on the top comment that you upvoted. You are just angry. I also dare you to copy and paste the paragraph where such foul behaviour, as you claim, exists.
You are a baby sitter and the policeman. You religiously follow certain ideas and people will just flock to get a piece. We all know that. Even if Bush joined Steemit, people will upvote him in order to get a cut. (Talk about the "anarchy in the blockchain"). Exactly the point I made in my first article. Someone, just by sheer voting power, becomes a policeman by default. One flag and poof, comment is gone. Talk about anarchy... Even if the state fell tomorrow same trends, like whale power will dictate what people do. Your answer will be. "If you don't like it leave". Same exact thing the average statist will say to you. As you can see I can easily remake the points of my original article here because they are factual and applicable.
I sometimes use epithets. I am specifically allergic to lies therfore you get the epithets as a set package with the argument. For example if you check Sterlin's reply is full of lies. He doesn't even quote me properly like I do. Weird. How did you become blind to this? Perhaps, just perhaps is because you are biased?
I also hope this. I also think you guys have potential. Most of my new members in the organisation I lead come with these basic arguments. If you noticed, I don't suck up on whales. I refuted gavvet, the tin foil vigilante, sterlin, you and manu others. I respect people that show similar respect. I also despise savoir vivre and political correctness.
I think you guys forget that, due to the early stages of the webite, most people are indeed tin foiled anarchists that came from anarchi popularisers. Not exactly, top-tier quality. Every single argument i saw about anarchy from these groupies is a result of overgeneralisation, patternicity or downright insane. It makes me feel embarassed calling myself an anarchist.
I run a freethinking group, largest in my country since 2010. Central aspects are anarchy, atheism and we give great importance to critical thinking and individuality. We get bashed from statists, socialists, religious people and etc on a daily basis. I know the arguments inside out.
What most anarchists are displaying here in Steemit is what i call "cherry-pop-anarchy" or neo-anarchy. Vague, overgeneralised theories that do not reflect with reality. It will change. don't worry. I might got 9 flags on this post but i also gained 80 followers from just that post. People will slowly see that the goverment is just the shell of the problem.
The very function of Steemit will aid my point.
