I'm replying to the @proofofbrianio comment to the post I made yesterday, in a post.
I believe that it adds value to the wider conversation.
Here's the full reply....
I've removed your delegation, but I wish you had the spine to say what you really mean. Why don't you call out the specific actions that you are referring to? It looks to me like you're just giving up. It seems that all that talk about what you were going to do was just talk. That's fine. I'm used to people that talk a lot, but don't really have the gall to do what they say.
If you perceive the post as not saying what I mean, then anything else I say, won't really add to the conversation.
I'm not sure where you get the impression that I have no spine...that's either an illogical misconception (my actions speak volumes) or an amateur attempt to goad me into a response.
Both are silly.
It looks to me like you're just giving up
I've never been overly concerned with how things look to other people.
It seems that all that talk about what you were going to do was just talk. That's fine. I'm used to people that talk a lot, but don't really have the gall to do what they say.
My actions do not show me being remiss to date - quite the opposite, I would say (unlike others).
I was happy to 'lead the charge'.
For a charge to have any impact however, you need support in that charge - not actions that cut the legs off from the very horse that you're charging in on.
I had a similar discussion a couple of years ago with @informationwar, when I withdrew my support from there, based on the the other supporters delegations....I knew some of them to be of a 'leftist/globalist persuasion' posing as something else, shall we say....ergo, not compatible with the objective truth of things, and 'informationwar' - but one of playing the long game of propaganda. (which starts with embedding into an organization, quietly, vis-a vis 'Alinksy strategies').
Just as with that conversation, I stand by my actions as being correct as they come from both ethical, and intellectual, sound reasoning.
...as I also said in my post, I will continue to be pain in the arse when I see sophistry at work (it's my thing, with or without any help).
I see 'the delegation' as a responsibility to the new tribe.
I wish to continue doing my thing but without feeling like it's a one sided responsibility.
Cancer comes with a smile on its face, not a sword in it's hand.
People are far too easily blinded by smiles. (that'd be the exceptional social skills that the midwits possess, in action).
Whether peoples objective, 20/20 vision , is impaired by the token price or other things that I do not comprehend (my forte is most definitely not in social game playing and politicking) , I don't know.
What I DO know, is that clarity comes with detachment.
(There's a reason why most 'higher learning' institutions - and even 'wise elders' of earlier times , were often set apart from society... clarity).
There's a reason why 'skin in the game'( weirdly seen as a good thing) is an absurdity when it comes to making rational , decisions....
If you're used to having people that 'talk a lot and don't have the gall to do what they say', I'd suggest that maybe your choice of people that you choose into your life, needs some working on?...
You are exhibiting those qualities yourself - by your actions, btw. (are you not aware of it?)
That is a slightly sad observation from my perspective.
If you need me to spell it out to you, then please refer to the story about the guy asking for a 40 cent rise (in my post).
....a @proofofbrain 'in action', exercise, if you will.
Don't be the 40 cent guy...
For @proofofbrain to be a different niche than hive or leofinance - it requires truck drivers who think for themselves, not those who go 'cap in hand' , and who can't see the 'smiling cancer'.
If we all think about this deeply. i don't see a reason why it has to go this far, but it's also interesting when you look at it the other way round. i believe it's okay to disagree on somethings you don't feel comfortable with.
i really commend you for your bluntness and transparency in pouring out your thoughts in an encoded way that only few will be able to understand. am sure am not among those few peoplee who understand the codes (lol).
Whichever way what i do understand is the story of the truck driver, who won't use what he has to get what he wants.
Now relating this issue with the @informationwar scenerio you stated above, i can sense the connection between the two cases.
This is a decentralized system, i believe everyone is entitled to his or her opinion and actions, So i'll leave this here
Decentralization without governance (integrity), is the fertile breeding ground from which corrupt structures emerge.
(see the entire history of human civilization, as a reference. lol)
i'll surely read more about that and see how it goes
I wanted to chime in here with one of my replies I left on my TF name. Will also once again reassert that we are not globalists or leftists who run the @informationwar account. There may be some people who delegate to us who are, and we might upvote some people who are leftists. Our group doesn't specify being only right wing or only libertarian or only center leaning. We can upvote a lot of stuff, if a leftist talks about how corporations are running the world then we would upvote something like that.
This is what we are all about

I can clearly understand you point of view and in my own view there’s nothing we can do to stop bad behavior or stop stuffs like this.
There are all meant to happen. I believe no one is perfect and everyone is entitled to his or her opinion.
There’s more war coming in the future which I believe we all should be prepared for. Steemit is just a start ... there’s more coming
I’ll be talking about stuffs like that in my next post probably
To many people have lost their moral compass, especially when it comes to money. Once lost it is hard to get that moral compass and ethics back.
I really did not understand the spine part of the response, anyone can look back at your post and clearly see you stand up for yourself and others.
Some music to go with this , to keep it vague while giving some clue .
On what social media really is .. ;-)
You can read 3.5 years of my posts and u think I'm a leftist globalist? Or are you saying some of the people who write in the #informationwar tag are lefty globalista?
No one on the iw team is a lefty or a globalist my dude.
Did I say that?
No.
Did I infer that?
No.
Do I follow the money?
Yes.
I stopped looking at IW when I removed my small delegation.
I have zero idea now.
I know for a fact that you were being supported by people with leftist/globalist/ sympathies.
What money are you following, provide links and screenshots to what you refer. I don't get money from anyone.
You know for a fact I am being supported by people with leftist/globalist sympathies, in what capacity? That SOMEONE is delegating to the IW project? Sure, anyone can delegate to anything and I can't stop that.
Again, I don't get any money from anyone. I am not someone's paid staff member. I am not part of some NWO or leftist or gloablist anything. If you take the time to read my post history you will clearly see I am not a leftist lmao, I quite frequently destroy them.
I work an 8 to 5 job in manufacturing. You can miss me with the lies. I await any evidence you want to submit, but I know you won't becaues there isn't any ;)
Delegations are a form of control - no matter how subtle - they are an insidious way to influence.. (Marxist subterfuge strategies, 101).
You can request an un delegation, can you not? (like I've done).
You bring up a good point here though....If you cannot undelegate from your own account - you never really fully own it.
'Personal Integrity' is no longer an option....
I KNOW that you are not a leftist !!!..
Stop sounding so fucking defensive , will ya? ! lol
I brought up this IW thing, not to open old wounds - but to illustrate my point, vis -a vis- POB.
(Delegation histories are on the blockchain, I'm sure).
I don't even know where to see who delegates to us now that we are on Hive. Do you know where I can find that? I used to use steemworld.org or something when it was Steem.
I've never had anyone who delegates to IW in 3.5 years ask us to do anything. Even if they did, I would have ignored it. I curate based on the rules I laid out about our group(the link in about section in the @informationwar account).
Who is defensive, I'm going on the offensive!!!!!!!!! weeeeeeeeeee.
Sure I could request an undelegation. I haven't seen that people who delegated to us were some leftist globalist types. I would like to also counter what you said, if leftist globalists are delegating to IW they are getting a bad return on their "control" on me because I am constantly rewarding non-leftist content. So it's backfiring on them.
Also, just made a post calling out how Bitcoin is owned by big banks, check it out <3
