RE: WE NEED A WILD WEST IN SOCIAL MEDIA... SADLY STEEMIT AIN'T IT.

in #busy6 years ago

Bad ideologies have always existed and will always exist. But a truly open platform where nothing can be hidden and everyone has the chance to see it for what it is provides us all with an opportunity to deal with such things and make the choice

absolutely agree with you! so do you think this platform just the same as other platform too, I mean in terms of "freedom of speech". well.. I am someone who believe that There's no absolute freedom in this world, real or virtual .. hehehe.

anyway... I have featured this post on the pay it forward curation contest this week, I'm attracted to your ideas and "rant", how can UK has something like that implemented, what's really going on? is that the price of globalisation and democracy?

Sort:  

Thank you so much for your kindness. :) In regards to absolute freedom? I kinda believe it's in our wiring as a species but 10,000 years of statism has kinda left us wondering around with that perpetual feeling of having lost our keys. lol. In regards to the UK... Well to piggy back a famous quote, the public exchanged their freedoms for safety and woke without either. I can't say if it's a bi product of democracy or globalization though. I'd like to point the finger at a lot but in reality we as a people allowed it to happen. So I guess the collective mirror is where I tend to look. I daily make efforts to be as self reliant as I can in my life here and give government the absolute minimum I have to. From how I source my food to how I manage my finances. I hate the idea of any of my tax money going towards fueling wars of aggression or feeding a corrupt banking system so I do my best to with hold my compliance by with holding as much as I can without crossing the lines of the law. If I had more of a choice I'd with hold more but I don't want to be fined or sent to jail. Sad and bitter realities I suppose. Again thank you so much for your support. I founded an initiative on Steemit called Newbie Resteem Day that's focused on helping other content creators out by providing free resteems to increase post exposure. We can be found at @newbieresteemday Always feel free to give me a shout if ever you have any posts you'd like some help with. It's all for free and community run. It's been a pleasure to meet you so don't be a stranger and always feel free to pop bye and say hi. :)

same here.. I hate it when our government and house of representatives raised the tax for a pack of cigarrette and at the same time they're tend to corrupt, living in luxorious life, buy a high end cars and blaming the poor people being in poverty because too much cigarretes consumption.

thank you @mudcat36, glad that I found another @newbieresteemday here. will do that in the future if I happened to create a good post like yours, hehehe. My best only on commenting but terrible on posting, LOL.
