good g*d, I wish I could resteem this post again due to the amazing discussion in the comments
one of the things we need to start asking for from the devs is a method of co-authoring posts
@richq11 and @nxtblg are giving a realtime dissertation into the ideological development of the Left in this country
I'll resteem it.
You might enjoy listening to it... This guy is right on the money!
I just told @nxtblg about a video I'm halfway through watching (actually a 2 1/2 hr audio) of a talk by Myron Fagan from 1967 where he explains it ALL! I'm thinking about posting it.
post the link as a post, would ya, and we'll get an #informationwar curation going
[Edit, also, I'll post a bibliography of my New Left material today]
I'm going to... You know me, I can't just post something without putting my 2 cents worth in. It isn't right- I use videos to back up some thesis I'm trying to make.
thats the way it should be done.
I dont mind a quick link-and-run post every once in a while from somebody that I know usually puts in effort, especially on a piece of information I havent seen before
The way I fashion my posts for Steemit is like this: First, I consider the audience (which seems to be more visually oriented in my experience- sorry buddy, you're the exception on here). Then I'll watch several videos- doing it like I would an academic piece (3 sources for each point) Then I pick the best video- 3 would be impractical and impracticable. I try to limit my blogs to 2-3 theses.
When I write it I try to do it kind of journalistically rather than all the heavy language- people want to be entertained a bit along with their facts. Maybe throw in some humor... seems to work. (some idiot just wanted sources for my Nazi post yesterday... It;s fucking HUMOR!
I should feel embarrassed for saying this, but I write mostly for me. You wouldn't believe how happy I am when people read and intelligently comment, or when a post gets a good payout ;>
I't been very hard for me to break out of Professor Steve mode ( a mode I entered frequently even before grad school)
