Did you see the choices the American election offered? There was no point in voting if you wanted to vote for someone you actually wanted to win - if you weren't fully programmed by the wholly owned media to believe one was better, or different, than the other.
The Butcher of Libya was no better.
American voters have the power to select a president for their own country, and its not limited only choosing your own president. You are also choosing the most powerful and influential King who will rule all over the world. The president will rule for 4 years, in most cases they continue to rule for 8 years. Every single decision and action made by the president will affect the lives of every individual on the planet. He can start or stop any war in anywhere.
Today, the biggest crisis is the Rohingya issue in the Rakhaine state of Myanmar, and its not only limited there, these people who were living a normal life, having a normal economy which they have build suddenly are giving two options, either die or run away, but they didn't even have a place where they could run away.
Bangladesh itself is having lots of issues, during dry season we face scarcity of water because India have created damps to stop water flows, and during rainy season India would remove the damp and would flash out the water into our territory making us suffer from flooding for at least 2 months, and its happening every year.
Despite having so many other issues, these Rohingya refugees have come here to take shelter, at first we couldn't do much to help them, but Turkey, Indonesia and many others have offered their help to face these issues. But let me ask you..can these people will ever be able to return back living a normal life?
Germany is a super power, and they have opened their borders to accept refugees from middle east, and now despite being such a super power they are also finding it hard to control the situation and the vast number of refugees who have gotten mixed into their population. I find it hard to imagine what will happen to those Rohingya people once the grants and donations are stopped coming. At one point most people will forget about these refugees and they will be left alone to depend on their own livelihood, what will they do then?
But you know what? American President has the power to solve all these issues and fix them within a very short period of time.. Doing small evil will bring greater good in future is nothing but simply bullshit.
You need to conduct weird biological experiment on a living body in order to research future medicine that can save millions of lives doesn't give anyone to play with a life.. every life..even if its just one single human is extremely precious.. and we need to learn to value it..
My request to all American voters, please execute the authority which you have in every 4 years in the best possible way which will bring peace and prosperity not only to your society but the whole world, and when you have no option but to choose between two scumbags, then you need to bring young people with fresh dream into politics, who wants to help your society, as well as the world, who understands the real value of another human being and who will be a leader, for the sake of the people, and not only to gain power just to support few selected people to gain more wealth.
It's still not too late..wake up!
You're preaching to the choir.
There is an immense caveat, however, and that is how impossible it is for vast segments of the population, whose biological imperatives are so subtly manipulated by professional marketers to manufacture consent.
It's no secret that mental control and manipulation techniques have been studied by covert programs since the 1960s. The military further employs psychologists while torturing victims in filthy black dungeons, and not just to force confessions, but to research how to manipulate people.
In 1969 Delgado showed he could stop a charging bull in midstride with a remote control. Consider the state of computer technology in 1969, and how such research has improved that mental control similarly since then.
While this isn't exclusive to Americans, there are reasons why they are perhaps more subjected to such technology than most. The role of the US in global destabilization and all the profiteering that potentiates; the criminal syndicates that move black market goods, from drugs to children; and the transitioning of the world from the dollar, marking the evolution of the US to the next site of Hegelian Dialectic conflict, all are dependent on a populace compliant with orders of the masters of these agendas.
It is those criminal syndicates to whom the Rohingya are less than compelling concerns, except as profit centers.
The censorship and propaganda centers of the world, Gargle, Fakebook, Twatter, are primarily deployed against Americans, because they are the next profit center of the deep state, and have been used to create $500T in new wealth for their overlords since 9/11.
The indoctrination begins at birth, here, and never ends. TBQH, there are rafts of people whose redpilling is futile: it would be best to simply feed them a line that would redirect their dependecies so that they no longer impede the freedom of the peoples of the world by serving dark masters, bent on consuming our lives and treasure in perpetuity.
A better, more productive plan, would be to craft those infrastructures, like BTC, Steemit, Viewly, and so many more, that can enable the awake to render obsolete the power of states to wield such weapons as propaganda and surveillance against their subject populations.
Those that can wake from the nightmare will, and can be brought up to speed as they emerge. Those that can't will remain challenges; forces of nature that must be accounted for, like the ring of volcanos bursting at the seams of the Pacific today, so that they can be mitigated, and eventually integrated into a free, global association of sovereign people.
Cryptocurrency can't solve anything, as a matter of fact it will create more problems.. There really is no hope of a pure decentralized.. mining monopoly will be enjoyed by those with access to the cheapest electricity..
And one example why Steem can't also do any better is because of the killer whales war..
I checked out some of the whales who would spend more of their voting power into flagging others rather than use it to generate rewards for the community.. the people with high SP will speak any sort of slangs and threats to people with lower SP.. anyone who ever tried to say against those big shots got their account screwed with below zero reputation..
At one point this place would require a bunch of moderators who will make rules and force others to obey..
Or Stinc could change the rules that govern VP. Steemit is vulnerable to the present VP weighting scheme, and I am less than confident of it's long term survival in it's present form. I believe this same vulnerability affects SMT as well.
When you say cryptocurrency can't solve anything, I don't believe you have a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the entire field that presently exist. It is easy to see that, alone, a particular currency - even one that was completely able to be anonymous, auditable, and free of external regulation, taxation, and other forms of plunder - can do little to change the world to a more free place.
I can't imagine crypto being the sole technological advent that impacts our ability to reign in states, and reduce them to something beneficial, and therefore tolerable, if they continue to exist at all.
It is good to keep in mind the burgeoning 3D printing revolution, which is giving consumers the power to produce the goods they need directly, without significant labor, or will, in the fullness of time, the miniaturization of surveillance tech - cameras are going to be as small as dust, airborne, and impossible to preclude from an area.
With the concomitant reduction in cost, there will be no place to hide for corrupt officials and other criminals. It is difficult to imagine how strongly this will impact society, but it will have a robust potential to reduce the corruption of states, and other institutions.
One must consider the concatenation of technological revolutions, rather than any single advance alone.
Steemit is being forked, and similar platforms are in development. This is not the end of the technological revolution in social media economy.
Edit: also, Steem isn't mined. There was mining that did produce the majority of the Steem in existence, before Steemit was public, IIRC, but now, all new Steem is created through inflation.
your knowledge is bigger than me... and so I want your help answering few questions.. would you mind if I ask you to check my post by following this link and help me discovering new facts about this analysis. You can ignore if you want.
PS: this is not a spam.
Sure.
BTC and other cryptocurrencies are very volatile right now because few people use them. As large investments are made, the markets fluctuate. Then, when investors take profits, they fluctuate again. These investments will be smaller and smaller in proportion to the total value of BTC as more people begin to use BTC, and BTC will become less volatile.
I made a more substantive reply there.
