The land of Steemit had fallen on hard times. There were mass spamming's everywhere. Agoras, gladiator arenas, markets, crop fields, riversides ...nowhere was safe.
Legislators sought to ban automatic spamming, but they failed to realize the spam being used was only semi-automatic and was not technically classified as 'assault' spam like they loved to spew far and wide to brainwash the clueless peasants.
The kingdom became divided as they all regurgitated talking points from the daily headlines to each other. When intelligently questioned why they were for or against spam it seems neither side could conjure a logical response.
People shouted hateful things from the rooftops because others did not like their canned meat. They screamed until their faces were red with angst and their voting power was drained. They rested for a few days until continuing the pro-spam protests within the kingdom walls.

The Libertarian Steemians are still living happily in their own community in the woods
The PS part of your post indeed.
