Indeed - you are a person of depth. I wrote metaphorically for fear of negative reprisals from a witness who I felt was not adding any stability to steem by his arrogant and aggressive statements in a video.

This is a jungle here. Last night, I spent hours checking if the witnesses I vote for are supporting fascism in any way shape or form - If I saw a single fascist, I can excuse it - but seeing three or four, leads me to remove my vote.

Sadly, there are very very few who have not caved in and succumb to greed. I believe in dialogue, so I continue to contribute my time, effort, and even money by way of delegation if I can help a good cause. But I can never relinquish my principles, and a vote is a statement of support for a principle. So I will attempt to change the minds of those who support things I disagree with. This approach is really the only way to go sometimes, but one should never go unarmed as well. Remain cautious.
