Groupthink and individuals thinking are not achieved through the same brain processing. Social media has made individual think more difficult, in that many people see their mission in life as collecting converts to their form of group think. The idea of right and wrong is vastly different from the concept of right and left, but you wouldn't know that by listening to merica today. We just chase money.
Marx is hated for his ideology by persons who have never read Marx. This article about the treatment of Assange pretends to give lip service to communism and socialism as a critique on capitalism. I wonder if books by Marx still exist, or if anyone actually reads them.
Sometimes, i get depressed listening to my friends get upset at things they cannot change, only to change the things they can change to do the very things that they say upset them. If we all grow by different paths, then the universal lessons come in different forms at different times, when we, the learners, are ready for them.
To use the tools of the system to break the system is futile, those methods can never work. Change comes about when you do something different, something unexpected, something that actually works. Built in obsolescence is a human construct, anything can be repurposed to play a role in another undesigned task. This is steampunk.
The steem game is not a level playing field. The game is changed between purpose and accumulation, the latter overpowering the former while paying said lip service to content providers. We all have our narrow niches of comfort, but this game is growth, get an audience and keep them reading. Bacon is the flavor of the month, the meme is hiding in plain site 
They slaughter hogs. The game is one of one-upmanship, whoever catches your attention is the player of the month. I can do that, if you want fictional reality to really get your goat.
Anger generates loosh, generates fear, generates anger. Love generates anti-loosh, generates hope, generates fear. Hope is a nonsense that cannot be achieved without work, but work takes you away from hope into the reality of being and doing, not complaining and wishing. If wishes were fishes, would we mine the ocean?
Steemit is a futile platform. While i have invested 6 months in learning this social media, and its colleague Discord, i have found that the social media game is like responding to a crisis by running in circles, screaming and shouting. The actual transmission of thought is hijacked by a world of insanity, another meme in punk floyd's wall.
Maybe i will feel different later. As of now, i need to wash off the filth of disgust, at how all the hope i had for this platform shrivels into a silly compelled terms of service agreement that self-serves all the ice cream out of the dispenser before the meal begins.
There are no just desserts. When you chase the money, that is all you think about, the money and the chase.
Namaste' ...
