RE: How Steemit Turned Me Away from Libertarianism and Freedom/Free Market Principles

in #steemit6 years ago

Most social democrats are generally selfish and greedy and don't relaly care about anyone other than themselves, as long as they are doing well, fuck everyone else. I dislike social democrats for not allowing people to talk and from narrowing down the freedom of individuals, while stealing all the god damn money, and using it for themselves and for others who have not deserved it, it stings.

Most social democracts I've interacted with tend to be on the selfish side and love to take money from others for themselves. I find that usually the capitalists is where I've met the most honest and thoughtful people.

Obviously there are exceptions, but I do believe that everyone can be moderately wealthy and social democrats are not needed to harm the entire society and causing scarcity for everyone.

One nice piece of information is that money an happiness are not congruent in rising. For the most part, people tend to be more happy in a society where people are treated well instead of promoting jealousy and hatred against others based on their success and wealth. By trying to remove the grand things from peoples lives you are also banning dreams of better, as everyone is being pushed to live the same, mediocre life.

STEEM is a fun example of true free market ideals, and I like it. I think we need more adoption before we can really say if it's as bad as schattenjaeger is saying it is. Right now the overwhelming majority of posters are poor people attempting to achieve better with minimal work, so it's not a real good pool to get a good feel from. One problem here is that a lot of left-wingers are not working for the best what they want, but trying to instead harm others because of jealousy. I don't know if STEEM will reach the adoption that it needs to be a true test, but I'd love to ride the wave until we find out.
