I get more and more convinnced SteemIt was set up s a social experiment to see how people would start behaving if there is no real set of rules. (You know, like Das experiment and the French TV-experiment 'Game of death')

Money gives power, and it is interesting to see how people act when they get either or both.
It changes them, and not for the better.

If it would really be an experiment, a lot of people at the top would have failed, since they start to mimic the 3d society. They have learned nothing. Compassion is for the weak. Supporting others is out of the question. Disagreeing in public will get you punished.

This is not OK. Definutely because it could all be so different. One tight community in which everyone is treated as equal, and helping others out could be the norm instead of the exception.

But hey, ... I also still believe in fairytails...
I'm afraid most people are too blind to see what they've become: powerfull, because of the money. And so addicted to both that nothing else is important anymore.

To get more power and money, they are willing to wipe out an.entire class of Steemians, without even blinking. They call the names like freeloader, and don't want them here.

I don't get that they don't see the consequences of their actiond. My best guess would be that they see them, but simply don't care

(of course this is a generalisation - unfortunately there are too few exceptions to.the rule)
