Hey Justin Sun, Screw You... i'm Goin Home

In George Orwell’s infamous book 1984, Big Brother imposes Newspeak on the people of Oceania. Newspeak is defined as “a controlled language of restricted grammar and limited vocabulary, meant to limit the freedom of thought — personal identity, self-expression, and free will — that threatens the ideology of the régime of Big Brother and the Party, who have criminalized such concepts into thoughtcrime.” During this debacle that played out with Justin Sun many narratives were pushed by Justin Sun and his team. Members of the community who removed their witness vote from "Korean" witnesses were accused of being xenophobic.

Society today has dimensions of Newspeak infused into our everyday lives. We are all polarized penguins waddling our way through the masses, blocking, deleting or belittling anyone who has opposing views until we find ourselves face first in a corner. After waddling like penguins into the walls of our echo-chambers, we turn around and face the world, but by then we have become territorial terriers ready to attack anyone who threatens to breach the walls of our carefully crafted echo-chambers. Instead of protecting the truth, we protect our truth. This is Justin Sun.The consequences of this are that instead of the truth being known there are two truths, and this process will duplicate and recycle itself until there is no truth, there are only lies and propaganda.

Instead of having actual free speech in our world today, we have accepted speech. We protect the illusion of free speech— like a lonely man in the desert, protecting his paradise, which in reality is just a mirage. The fact that post are being censored is what inspired me to write this post in the first place. The will of the people will never be honored so long as we elect monetarist gargoyles in suits that are afraid of change because it means their demise. Steem is becoming a representative democracy and not a direct democracy as it was designed to be, Hive will be a direct democracy. A democracy in which our votes as citizens in this community actually mean something and since Justin Sun put monetary profits over the will of this community, we collectively said..."screw you guys, I'm goin home."

“War is fought in this fog of falsehood, a great deal of it undiscovered and accepted as truth. The fog arises from fear and is fed by panic. Any attempt to doubt or deny even the most fantastic story has to be condemned at once as unpatriotic, if not traitorous. This allows a free field for the rapid spread of lies.” – Arthur Ponsonby (Falsehood In War-time)

I will be joining Hive and I hope others do as well. <3
