RE: FLAG WARS - Where "might makes right" continues to rule
I have read several of the war rallying posts today and found them convincing.
I have just read your slant and also find that convincing!
Personally, throughout my life, I have avoided conflict whenever possible but through doing this issues grew to larger, more damaging, proportions.
My spiritual team have schooled me not to be wishy washy and advise that at times folks must confront darkness.
As far as the egalitarian nature of Steemit : the founding principles are pure and solid but there are always those who, sadly, strive to manipulate the backroom infastructure for personal gain upvoting their own work ~ this is not acceptable.
Rather than call this initiative war perhaps we should call it something less negative? Mother Teresa always refused to attend anti war rallies but participated in those events named peace rallies if I remember correctly. That said nothing snappy comes to mind.
I appreciate your thoughts and find myself conflicted.

I'm not going to sugar coat it my friend. War is war. What Mother Teresa spoke about was in regards to having a 'Peace Rally' instead of an 'Anti-War' rally. If you don't like the war word, then I have no qualms about using other words like theft, violence and the sort.
Sometimes you've got to fight.
There is a difference between self defense and being an aggressor.
Well being an aggressor in this instance is akin to a community sharing resources such as food and one member consistently looting the cupboards and breaking into the cellar.
I fail to see how STEEM is akin to food.
To me, they are not quite on the same level to merit the analogy.
It doesn't matter what it is, I was saying that there's only so much to go around, when someone is taking more than their share everyone else has less.
But I do respect your viewpoint.
