RE: The Heck is going on with Steem?
I think that the anarchist / volantarist preachings here are much like those of catholic priests who have a thing for the alter boys, hypocritical at best, harmful to the innocent entrusted to them at worst.
Well, you are entitled to your opinions.
Id agree with you for anybody calling themselves ancrap, as that is an oxymoron.
Voluntarists seem to want to be their own boss and not have compliance forced upon them.
Nothing wrong with that, in my book.
As for your lack of understanding of anarchist principles, id start you here.
I am not talking about what they say, I am talking about how they act. Nothing wrong with words, it is the behaviour where the conflict comes in.
Hmm, i guess im not aware of what you are refering to.
I do know that >90% of folks self labeling as anarchist havent done the reading of what that is, they just want to be the boss of themselves, whereas anarchism is about the absence of bosses.
They end up repeating mistakes that better research wouldve helped them avoid.
What I mean is that where the hypocrisy lays is between what people say and how they behave. No matter their reading, most people have learned their behaviours through authoritarian practices so even if they want the absence of authority to dictate terms in some areas, their habits will apply those same learned behaviours on others in another area. We are creatures of habit. Steemit is a good example where people make claims yet for the most part, act no different to the world they denounce.
Ah, ok, yes, you are absolutely right.
Old habits die hard.
When rushed i often want to resort to violence despite knowing there is probably a better way.
