RE: How Steemit is healing my internet-inflicted wounds and paving the way for peace and freedom
What you expressed here I also expressed in a steemians comment section. Out there in the real world racist, tribalists and other negative people are always afraid to express their warped views because of the consequences they have to face. But on the internet people just get away with everything. That's not real life. In real life you are rewarded for being a model individual and punished for being a deviant-directly or indirectly at least. The internet is raising monsters and suppressing people who should shine. It is teaching them that they need negative qualities to be successful in the world. This is wrong. Whenever I have said this, people have interpreted it to mean that that I hate freedom of speech. But this is very far from the truth.
I am happy that steemit is teaching us all a better way to live. We are not just looking out for each other because we are good people but because It is rewarding to do so. Good behaviour should be rewarded not punished. You are welcome to steemit, Carey.
