Yes, thanks a lot for your reply, it's all about respect.
I've been in The Netherlands for more than 2 years in holidays for the feel of respect in real communalist democracy but since my first visit in 1979 till 2015 I've seen things are getting worst and the fascistic "mob" is climbing in power and trying to change one of the most tolerant countries in the world is going in the same direction of the as the whole society.
Some "Mussolinisc" figures are fighting for power of money and private property marrying the State for totalitarianism control of the crowds by propaganda.
In Steemit the majority of whales (in my view 97%) have a dignified behavior and they don't abuse power besides of their Vesting Power and the deserved invested in High Uncertainty but made possible Steemit's Dream to became Reality.
Only maybe 3 % of the whales abuse their power using their entourage of tormentors, insulting good members crucial for steemit about their personal traits as a reason to humiliate, subjugate, and using them as "escape-goats" to strengthen their dominance power.
This is a disruptive strategy for the community and the Value of Steem showing behaviors of the "Raged" (violent intimidators to hide their own fears of a punishing father) - Extreme violent groups glued by external hate or dehumanization of other groups).
This fascistic acts of violence with no Respect for People can last for a long time(nobody knows how long) but some day there is a "Mussolini Headkick" day.
History facts showed that fascism always falls.

Although I find the words "fascism" and "Mussolinisc" very strong and not entirely applicable to the state we are in (at least not in real life) but I understand what you are saying.
Not only in The Netherlands, but in whole of Europe as well as USA, we are going through rough times, we are getting more nationalistic, and we see an increase of blaming certain groups for the effects in society that has nothing to do with one another. Polarisation, in one word, is happening. Luckily our last elections showed the Dutch Trump did not really win and will very likely not make it to government (we need 4 to 5 political parties to get to 50+%), and France showed the French Trump was not elected.
Whether in real life societies or on Steemit, only a few are required to make a mess of the whole! We see it at Steemit, we see it in our daily lives. The problem is generally, the mass is not doing anything, they just sit there and do their own thing, either scared to say or do something, or just don't care to much when whatever happens does not directly effect them, the "not in my backyard" syndrome. I have no idea how to wake the mass up, but history showed that things must get worse much more before the mass start to realise they have to do something. This counts for Steemit and this counts for Europe, USA and possibly many other countries.
Yes, I was just mentioning that I think we are crawling those stairs if people don not became Aware.
Just said, Mussolini because he was a fan of corporatism and State would be the same, no need for "revolving-doors" just coexistence in the "House-of-Cards" seen in today's politics.
Quote from The Culture of Conformism, by Patrick Colm Hogan
[P]anic tends to foster racism, authoritarianism, and more generally, consent and conformism- a point that is deeply consequential for U.S. society today.
I bookmarked this, maybe an interesting read.
