Hello Steemians,
Last night, I was on the Steemstar network(Discord Server) with the hot-shot host @sircork, @firedream, and many more lovely and high intellectual peoples. We had a discussion on the recent actions os Steemit platform. After the successful ending of the show, I began to think about Politics + Decentralized combination. Politics have many definitions and there is always an individual perspective to define it. There is a fair possibility of politics in Steemit and that's natural, we bind ourselves in a group which shares the common level of intellectuals, and thus ended up as being a part of politics. Well, if we got politics already on Steemit than it's not bad to call it "Decentralized Politics".
What If we are already a part of any political campaign on steemit?
- There is a high probability that we are a part of the political side on steemit without even knowing that! But that's not something to worry about.
- The major concern is "What if we don't follow the ideology or propaganda, but still a part of it?". Then this will becomes a major issue that is needed to be addressed.
- Most of you will be thinking like what the heck is I am saying? But the thing which I am addressing in this post can have a high projection in Steemit world in near future.
- I am addressing to the politics which is going around Steemit and directly or indirectly we are a part of it. If you are frequent on Steemit trending page, then you might be knowing it or at least getting a glimpse of what I am saying right now.
- Steemit is a social blogging platform and now it is a society of high intellectual peoples who express their thought freely, and this society slowly getting covered in the politics color.
It all started after the flag wars...
- Flag wars are the actual seeders of the political object on steemit. We are getting divided into parts, where we are following a political agenda and being as an activist, we keep pumping these politics.
- No, I am not saying that politics is a bad stuff. Actually, politics is the best invention of the society. Without politics, there is a high chance that we will remain disconnected from each other's view.
- But the problem is that we are using politics in an individual context and not as a community. We are doing damages to each other's side. Without knowing that we are causing a big damage to this platform.
- I am a participant too and I chose my side. And I want to address you guys, that before joining a political side, you must check the history of your political side.
- Most of the political side on steemit are made to earn the profit not to develop our society. Or maybe formed to cause damages to other people on steemit.
We are going in the wrong direction with bad politics
- Bad politics is what the center of this problem, we are unaware of many kinds of stuff on steemit and which made us incomplete and with this incomplete knowledge, we are joining the bad political parties on steemit.
- Bootlicking is one of the parts of it. Higher parties attracting masses and few individuals for masses went too far and adopted bootlicking instead of standing/opposing.
- Bootlicking on the way to earn money or grab attention but that's not the bad part, the bad part is again "Individual Thinking Me-Myself-I", we are failing to get collective as a society and getting divided/integrated into imposed ideology.
- I don't think to say any more about bad politics, after all, we can look back in the past and learn from our nation's history.
Feel Free...
- Development of this steemit society is not possible if we are not using our brain or following an imposed ideology. We all have the freedom to speak and express, and that's where we can start!
- If choosing any party is hard, then form your own party ~ I learned this from the great user @firedream, @sircork and many peoples who are resisting the bad evils of steemit.
- If you are not utilizing your freedom than trust me you are wasting the great power which lies in you. Utilize your power, no one knows what sort of freedom you are going to kick-off!
- Think as a community first. Steemit is a community and without community we are Zero. We are because you are! And if we started thinking about community first than believe me, this will solve the biggest problem of any democracy.
- I would request to @sircork to include the Decentralized Politics in the next show.
