RE: Solutions for Frustrated Minnows and realization of Social Justice in Steemit. [Response to @stellabelle's post]

in #steemit8 years ago

Your definition of 'social justice' is more palatable than most and your proposals are good overall.

BTW I usually cringe at the term social justice because it comes off to me as just another facade for socialism and forced wealth redistribution. That to me contradicts how I see 'justice' as something based on natural law. Instead of 'justice' I would use words like 'compassion', 'humanity', 'volunteerism', 'community services/community', 'charity', 'family', 'mutual aid' etc. all of which are important fabrics of society....

I believe perhaps the real change that is needed lies in the whale's and orca's, dolphin's time spent on cultivation of the minnows. The mentorship idea is something that I already did in the first week on Steemit, as I was approached by a writer who was familiar with my work outside of Steemit. This relationship helped me as well, realize that I have value beyond just a whale upvote. I have value that I can pass along to another. I think it's time to form another bond as this writer is now doing well, but he found his own voice. I didn't give that to him, he found it within....

A VERY good reply that I agree with and also see so often. It is so common that "minnows" don't like being minnows and ask to be taken care of or DEMAND FAIRNESS. I can see why they feel this way but ultimately that is WHY they still are the way they are. If you want something great then you have to step up and do something great.
With that being said there are without a doubt improvements that can be made to this platform, but that is why I am here and many others is to contribute valuable content/perspective and hopefully influence the whole in a beneficial way for all!

If you want something great then you have to step up and do something great.

I just totally agree with this statement!

Thank you, @quinneaker!

"It is so common that "minnows" don't like being minnows and ask to be taken care of or DEMAND FAIRNESS."

Yes, agree with you. Life is not fair. Get used to it.


Yes, actually I believe the truth is simple. Or at least, it should sound simple ;)Thank you for encouraging words, @steemrollin!

Yup keep it up @omfedor!

I totally agree.
