This is actually a rally interesting question - one that weighs heavily on my mind. We pride ourselves on the quality of discourse and discussion on steemit - and I think there's some justification for that. But in the short time I've been here, I have not seen evidence of anything like the culture wars that have raged across other social media - twitter in particular. If that were to occur here, and if enough people joined, it would, how would the system cope? Can you imagine the havoc that a political party could cause by opening a stack of accounts and loading them up with SP purchased from their war chests?

Exactly @samueldouglas, I made a similar point here. It's exactly what I am trying to avoid on the Steemit platform. I'm just a nobody on here right now, but I have the foresight just as you did right in the above post to see what's going to happen months or years down the line.
ugh, posted the wrong link, it is updated now.
I read it pretty quickly, and I've not totally recovered from after-work drinks, (I don't know where you are, but it's Friday night here), but I really think you had some good points. I wonder if we could synthesise something out of what you wrote, combined with what I wrote here.
Good idea, i'll check it out. You know, I wrote this post while drinking (drunk) I had to come back to tidy it up a bit. It could have been allot more embarrassing than it actually was. I think the spirits were what was able to allow me to distill the core of the issue, and find the right question to ask.
Update: Wow! Amazing post! Very well thought out, great analogies!
