Thanks very much for making this comment. You are absolutely correct. All the social media distraction (including Steemit) is ultimately about getting people to forget their individual responsibility as human beings and instead clamor for herd approval. As long as the social manipulators can place themselves as the key Pied Pipers in social media and alternative truth communities, the social media construct is designed as a Pavlovian system to reinforce staying with the common / popular narratives and actions.
It is our individual responsibility to break ranks and oppose all of these herd-based systems and controls. This is ultimately why the societal controllers hate genuine religion and spirituality. They hate that people hold onto individual ethical and moral behavior that requires them to do the right thing regardless of the herd. It also requires them to stand up to and call out lies and deception. It throws a wrench into their societal machinery designed to keep the sheeple in line. Every time we peacefully disobey and stand up for the real truth and action and not some bogus, socially engineered media or alternative media version of it (and there is a hell of a lot of this out there now), we are winning. We are creating new examples for others to follow and we are breaking the manipulators control on the masses.
You are correct, you are winning. Keep it up. We need more examples like yours to break the machinery of control.
