Ha ha... I got burned out by the election brouhaha from all the way across the pond.
You gave me a few thoughts.
The far left and the far Trump both kind of sound like each other. They both seem to have fixated a a very small range of human life as being the cause of all troubles, and they both seem to have fixated on a very small range of solutions. In short, both groups seem like ideologues.
I am using Steemit to write about my tutelage in cybersecurity along with the occasional personal musing. I am using it as a sort of accountability device to keep me on track. I hope to find an audience eventually, but I don't care if I don't.
I follow the political circus less and less... and I think your point is exactly right, and fewer and fewer people do stay involved because those in power seem to represent more and more of an "extreme fringe" rather than the more solid citizens somewhere closer to the middle.
Yeah, I remember reading you have a very specific mission... and I like the idea of using Steemit as "documentation." My wife is actually considering serializing a book she's writing on Steemit, again to have a "permanent" record.
