As you are well aware I don't put up with anything anymore. 2 years of reading such racist bullshit makes me queezy. I am actually so happy I came out of hiding. My goals were completed on STEEM:
Raise enough STEEM to delegate and not have to beg for upvotes - CHECK
Come out of hiding and tell certain WHALES and their underlings that I have followed their exploits - CHECK
Not Give a Shit what I say - CHECK
I am VERY happy to go out and downvote all the evil bullshit that happens on this platform.
A few people do some incredible work. Some vocal, and some not so vocal. I have seen some good folks run off this platform by @berniesanders (which didn't make me happy). But then I have seen @berniesanders do some really GOOD work for this platform; and expose the fraudulent crap that happens on it.
@bloom - The most secretive account around that I know stands for justice.
I don't care about upvotes.. I like them; but I don't care about them anymore.
I am all for FREE SPEECH.. but HATEFUL SPEECH has consequences.
So say what you want; I'm free to downvote it. I'm all for free speech. It outs the hateful ones.
Press the HIDDEN key and see whatever you want. You cannot censor what can be seen.
Just don't go around and throw monkey shit all over and expect people to be ok with it. I know what hate speech can do without being challenged. That's the Achilles Heel of free speech; working people up in an insane frenzy without looking at facts. You see people are generally stupid and believe what they see on a cereal box.
Go ahead punk.. make my day!
best of luck. steemit is full of alt-right trash. you'll need a big stake.
This is exactly what they cry about when you respond to it. "Free speech!" they say. What they mean is that they want to say whatever they think without actually having consequences for it.
You are doing important work. What I love about the Steem platform is the self regulation rather than censorship. Free speech but with community based sanctions against racism or spam etc.

exactly! Racism is perfect to downvote.
now I am being flagged

How does silencing racism help create better relationships between humans?
Hardly anyone was paying any attention to this before you all jumped in and made this racist a Steem HouseHold Name.
Either argue with her or ignore her. Whatever you try to silence or war against grows.
We have learned these lessons from Prohibition, The War on Drugs, Racism is going down the same path. The more you tell people they can't do or talk about something the more they do...
This reminds me of "Stomping out Violence".
This is the dumbest fight I've ever seen with a bad strategy.
Bunch of media inspired, do not understand human phycology.. morons are going to grow racism on the platform.
This person that bernie is flagging has been around forever with very little attention.
Congratulations...
Are you that naive? Or perhaps you have never had discourse with people who want you dead. I'm going to guess naivety.
First off I just explained you cannot silence anything. You can simply click HIDDEN and WOWZER, you can see it.
Second off your comparison with the war on drugs to racism is quiet simply wrong. If you let racism and hatred bubble it will create Pogroms, and dare I say holocausts. OH NO he used the big H word.
You are simply not used to blood libels that have lasted for generations and have whipped idiots up in a frenzy of PHYSICAL hatred. I am guessing you have not been adversely effected personally (which shows a lack of experience and maturity)
Again I re-iterate nobody is completely silenced on this platform. If they enjoy their negative rep - so be it. Plus I have had discourse with this fool and have to click the unhide button because their racist account is in negative. But guess what.. I still un-hide the account. So I guess you cannot silence anything.
The person that bernie is flagging is also being upvoted by fulltime.. and that person is posting vile garbage. The downvote button is there for THAT.
I am allowed to downvote whatever the hell I want. Including upvote whatever I want.
Now I don't really care why you downvoted me.. but you downvoted me in an attempt to silence me. So I guess you are a hypocrite.
I had plenty of voting power to turn this gray, I used a ONE percent flag.
Fall on your sword, make some more posts about this person no one was watching! Way to go..
You can watch it happening right now. You turned this mostly ignored racist into a victim that some now feel the need to protect.
Who is propagating hate? You are...
I'm trying to figure out your logic. By singling hateful posts out, I am helping to give credence.
Perhaps I got what I want. They are generally hidden
You think anything can be said without consequence because words do not cause harm? Interesting concept; one that has been proven to be false time over.
Look you can take Ghandi's urine drinking philosophy at heart; I do not have too.
You see I come from a history of pain and I know what SILENCE on subjects breed. Now I don't like to assume, but I'll take a leap of faith and guess you or your family has never been the victim of false blood libels.
"If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything"
I see you take your lines from MSNBC, while calling others globalist. I don't have any more energy for this. (What we focus on grows)
Virtue signals and all,... carry on. I'm sure there will be more love and peace in the world when you are done. Do what you like, it's your account and your stake.
thanks.. and yes I drink the kool-aid MSNBC blah blah.
I'm pretty right wing.. I just don't march with the Klu Klux Klan, or the Farakhan's either. They cannot just say whatever they want with their 1 MILLION MAN MARCH... no idiots with pitch forks there.. (and they happen to be black ;) Good luck letting them say or do whatever they want in the name of freedom of speech. - oops/
I think speaking works, challenging bad ideas, is a good move. I think conversations work. I think living and working together toward goals works well. People who work together often see each other's strengths and weaknesses with more acceptance. These things are known and used to control our behavior each day. Who's great idea was it to Hate Hate?
I think silencing and meeting hate with hate is a bad strategy. I only ask that you pay attention to whether or not when you try to tell someone they are wrong... (like I did here) How it just makes people argue harder. My mistake. I should have ignored this.
I really do know your heart is in the right place and I shouldn't have been rude. I kicked this conversation off like this, and I did exactly what I was asking you not to do.
A. I'm not a liberal.
B. Adolf doesn't know, he's voicing an opinion.
C. We are talking about someone who is discussing a point of view that is unpopular, she advocates non-violence.
"Fascism (/ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a form of radical authoritarian ultranationalism, characterized by dictatorial power, forcible suppression of opposition and strong regimentation of society and of the economy, which came to prominence in early 20th-century Europe."
The only people practicing Fascism in this debate are those who are trying to control the thoughts and views of another person.
Thanks for that content in this situation.

so prove it. help me fight someone who just wants to shut anything you have to say without worry of content.
Look friend...Blockchain is meant to be neutral...That means racists have opinion on steemit...I am not racist. But i defend the rigth of someone choosing to be one...That´s what decentralization is all about...So keep yor leftie fascism to yourself...
GO FUCK YOURSELF - FREEDOM OF SPEECH
XD
lmao
"It's fine if people want to take away rights, as long as people aren't taking away the rights of people trying to take others rights"
you're the fascist here
GO FUCK YOURSELF - FREEDOM OF SPEECH
you are just @anarchyhasnogods

Wow, what an interesting post.
I remember like years ago dealing with some racism on the Steemit platform, real in your face ignorance. Not as bad as what I am seeing with caladium, a user I did not know. As far as just digging through comments and upvotes, I must have been confusing fulltimegeek with another user, as I was like all shocked to read some of the comments and support going on, but I think i was confusing with @whatageek, a whole other old schooler here.
This was my run in years ago, I believe in an at least attempt at positivity. Note this URL post title https://steemit.com/life/@nc-mgtow/blacks-and-hispanics-are-the-new-american-racists
Holy shit, that user above is still posting now, and he has seem to upgraded of hating blacks and hispanics to just hating America lol https://steemit.com/bible-prophesy/@nc-mgtow/a-warning-to-america-by-dumitru-duduman
Again, interesting post, I don't think going out and hunting for the racist stuff is a great idea. Racism on the internet is literally just ignorance, like it is something to feel pity over more so than anger, definitely not anything to dedicate too much time too, just spread love and more positivity and pray for these poor peoples souls. Downvote too though, downvote the fuck away on this stuff, I'm sure there is a blockchain based Gab for all the prejudice crypto nerds.
only if I had the delegation. Since I don't.. I don't give a crap cuz they are like weeds.
https://steemit.com/silencing/@bearbear613/last-spam-for-the-evening-until-someone-wakes-up
I feel like I'm missing something here ... who is being racist? some Steemit user? damn, why am I the last to know everything?
don’t worry, I’m just stimulating conversation
Hear hear using my last RC to say i fully endorse this message and a quick glance at my posts will tell you how precisely in alignment we are. I’m like the little steem engine that could 😂 I had delegations but was too new and naive to realise there were strings attached that I had to cut the instant I saw them.
I’m nobody’s pawn, I stand alone but due to being a reasonable human being and steemian I came out of the crossfire unscathed.
Now the only issue is back to square one of my organic growth. Could I dump fiat into here and have more influence sure I can, will I ? Not a chance, it goes against my principles. Maybe someday I’ll change my mind but for now freely speaking my mind and finding the people that are rational here is priceless.
If I see the place overcome by tinfoil hats I’ll reevaluate my position. For now you and Bern and others are carrying the torch well enough.
Guess I’ll be quiet for a while now as I’ve exhausted my plankton power. The same power that afforded me to speak out against the racism and recruiters of trash and live to tell the tale.
I’ll be back guns a blaze ASAP

yo I know quite a few transphobes and fascists on here, do you plan on doing anything about them or only racists?
Only racists
then it's not worth my time
you have enough steem to work on that minority yourself. Plus I’m not sure I even know or care about transphobia. Fascism could be a whole religion as far as I’m concerned.
you don't care about transphobia? ew, disgusting. Not at all surprising from somebody on the right wing. You don't really care about oppression, you just happen to champion one social issue to look good or whatever.
haha your so cute trying the whole baiting and trolling thing. No offense it has nothing to do with being on the right.. it’s that I was born with a dick and I like to use it in on females. I also am not sure what trans has anything to do with oppression, but there’s plenty oppression in the world so I guess it’s your fight. I personally have other major dilemmas and trans happens to NoT be one of them. Typical? Or human?
@berniesanders usually moderates discussions like these
