- But letting him take advantage of others, even though it's not in my yard, is entirely another.*
To which I reiterate...
till he comes in MY yard - meaning my discord communities which are NOT decentralized, they are my private domain, and my posts and my friends posts who ask me to defend them or need help doing so themselves.
But then, we need bigger guns or we get beat down by a bully. A bully I have yelled and ridiculed and told to get "off our lawn" plenty... but welcome to the experiment in ancapistan... which is proving warlords can only be defeated by community action, and here, the community is not strong enough, to beat up the bully. So we go round and round.
I still contend he needs to read his own headline and learn economics though, as he is the one raping the pool the most consistently with his self voting and exposing him for the fraud he is means all of the community will reject him.
The bot owners bending over for him irritates me too even if I didn't believe in bots, I believe in having a damn spine and some integrity.
It's a losing situation for the cat though, as he is the one ruining the platform for himself, losing money in his wallet from when he bought in, till now, and without community wide outrage at his terrorism and hypocrisy, basically, he wins in the short term, but kills the whole place in the long term. Because in turn the community is effectively saying, bullies are cool. No biggie. And down we all fall.
Doesn't this just imply anarchy only works when everyone is an anarchist?
