Another day under the thumb of a bully.

in #steem5 years ago

I thought the last thing I would ever see is somebody take the throne from @berniesanders.

In fact, I figured it would have been the unnamed one that did this to me.
I've certainly said triggerable things, but I don't think he has flagged me, but once, or twice.
I know for sure I've gotten a bigger number of up votes.

Now, don't sell the unnamed one short, dollar for dollar I bet he is still the king, but he has a rival in persistence, @friendlystranger.

In fact, props to none nuts for sticking it out this long, I thought he would've broke weak by now.
It raises questions of who's sock puppet he is.
Certainly a long time steem user, IMO.

I see that the two flag kings have crossed paths, but the normally unnamed one didn't wipe him out.
Is he aging?
Maybe he doesn't care quite as much as before all this warfare?
Maybe he knows the true identity of the sock puppet?

No doubt the one I normally don't name has been at the center of much of the drama on steem.

We've been resisting @Ned's brilliant vision for nearly the entire time.
I got here between hf15 and hf16.
Just before delegations and the death of the n2.

As most of you saw yesterday, delegations by stunc will greatly influence the future of steem.

I called bulls**t on delegations when they were proposed.
It centralizes us even more.

Instead of @curie using Ned's posting key, he just delegates.
Instead of restricting the take of the ninja mine, he used it for his own purposes.
Counter to the interests of on boarding the masses.

If you are not aware, stunc stake can shut the pool off to all but their sycophants, at any time.

Ned could've done it, but like smart parasites one, and all, he restricted his bloodsucking to a level that allowed the walking corpse to stumble along.

I liked the n2 because it gave people reasons to invest more and pushed popular content to trending, but the greedy couldn't hold themselves to a reasonable level of extraction.
If they had restricted themselves to 500mv, we would have conquered the world by now, and Ned would walk among us as a god, iyam.
But, no.
Instead we continue to feed the wallets of the dumpers.

That still holds true today.

If the biggest 50 accounts restricted their take from the pool to 500mv per account, redfish would be drowning us in the turbulence, rather than dead fish being the biggest vote on the platform.

We could've given more than a few steem to a lot of people.

But, instead, the greedy majority of us suck up all we can only to dump steem into the dumpster fire for btc because steem is a shitcoin and we need to create as many bag holders as possible before it collapses.

The dream is dead, if it ever lived in the very heart of the platform.

As long as @friendlystranger can bully accounts into nothingness, and the community responds with 'Meh, not my problem', then those greedy folks have it right.

Here is a link to where, for today, and part of tomorrow, you can let him know that steem doesn't welcome bullies that think they get a free reign because nobody can touch them when they have a wallet bigger than their penis, and refuse to come out on the battle field of ideas.

If you remember correctly, none nuts, I engaged you, agreed with you, upvoted other content of your's, and what did you respond with?

Over a .02stu flag I readily admitted was in error?

If you, dear reader, would be so kind as to go by and give him the tiniest of flags, that would be a big boost towards steem's redemption in my eyes.

I know that is a bit much to ask from a random loud mouth on the interwebz, but it isn't me that you are defending, it is your investment here.

If my speech can be demonetized by a bully, without his rep taking a hit, then it is only a matter of time, or selling your soul to mammon, from the target being you.

If you prefer, you can upvote my <6.5 day old posts as a symbol of solidarity.

Or, you can merely go back to your otherwise humdrum day.
