RE: Steemit, Youtube and shots fired
This is something pretty crazy to think about, I'm still trying to wrap my head around this whole thing. It's obvious to anyone that has been paying attention that narratives get skewed as to serve an agenda more efficiently, but as you have pointed out we must not ignore the possibility of us going down a similar spiral.
If she is the first and last time this happen, then we might be able to chug this one as an outlier and safely ignore it. Now, this is also to say that at least from where I stand we seem to have some sort of cognitive decline in our populations.
I'm not try to be unsympathetic but the idea that I'm owed because I create therefore I will kill my oppressors who have chosen not to pay my youtube creations is quite distorted.
We might be dealing with extreme cases of entitlement, not that I know the solution to such a social problem.
I hope more information gets dug on this whole thing, this does not make me too hopeful for our species I have to say. Sadly, I would prefer for it to be revealed she was having an affair with someone or something more stupidly common.
This is apparent in so many aspects of society from hobbies to voting patterns and belief or lack thereof in science. As well as of course, the inability to discuss without losing emotional control.
It is likely going to be this way. Do you think Youtube wants to hold their actions in anyway accountable? Don't get me wrong, the event are a mess but with billions of users and demonetizing randoms, it was bound o happen.
It is kind of like the Charlie Hebdo magazine in Paris. Poke a hornet's nest, eventually hornets will come out. They had been playing a dangerous game and making money off it under the assumption they were somewhat protected. Violence is never the answer but when you are poking a stick into the ribs of psychopaths, a response will eventually come.
The world is a mess. People are to blame.
