I've been putting a lot of thought along similar lines lately. I wasn't thinking about Hitler or Germany but have found myself questioning the whole block chain- steem - where does this lead us down the road if continued to be left unchecked. Do we really want a system that can run roughshod over your entire life, know all your financials, level threats unchecked, as it builds it will be capable of doing whatever it wants to you way worse then any system in place now as anyone, that's ANYONE wielding more power than you will be able to destroy your life. I've been blogging for five years or better and I have never had anybody ever say until recently here: "You read far enough to that point to get to that point. Lol brace yourself mate. You don't know what just hit you. I'm just waiting for your identity to be revealed then you will know what's up. You can hide behind your social platforms for too long." I mean really....what sort of shit is that? He should have just said "shut the fuck up or I'll destroy you"....nah, that's just plain wrong, that's not somewhere I ever planned to be in my life, held hostage by fear.

So now what?....if you don't carry on you are submitting to the fear, if you do carry on you are submitting yourself to the consequences of this behavior.

I put in a report to someone behind the scene's on discord, I don't know if anything came of it, they never responded back. I see where someone else was having a problem with someone and she sought help and it got investigated...but she's part of the team, has a tribe...and that's not something I feel comfortable giving up, my own self identify in exchange for protection. I also had encounters with the same fellow she did, she even came to bat for me while I was, I appreciate that but the difference here is the old stick and stones may break my bones but names will never hurt analogy. Him spewing four letter expletives at me was nothing compared to someone declaring to destroy you if basically you don't shut the fuck up.

Flagging, striking down rewards, name calling is all within the realms of reality here....that's the magic word, "here", as in on this platform NOT in my personal life. When someone says you don't know what just hit you just wait till I find out who you are that's some bullshit and left unchecked is not a system I want to see flourish into the future.
