No they are not, and neither is conversation!
Do not be led by the neck to believe you have no voice, you do, you have as big a voice as any other living person, that speaks the same language or can understand you.
People are being played for idiots all over the world, in multiple countries, from Japan to the USA and everywhere in between, the birth rate is going down to the floor, people are lapping up the over environmental news, that somehow they are the problem, you are not, the greedy few are the real problem, they control the narrative, the finances and the news!!!!!!!!!.
I am never one to stay silent in the face of adversity, and not afraid to call out bullshit, so what you going to do? be silent or??
I was looking down my stream tonight, just now, and noticed how few comments people are getting on their articles/posts call them what you will, and thinking fuck me this is getting anti social here, maybe by design, I have no idea. I know a lot of people are frigid and only one comment or post they do not like sends them off in the other direction, never to come back again, good, fuck them, they are the kind of morons that ruined this world anyway!
It is great to see some interest in steem and sbd flooding back in to the system, it will be bad if that kills conversation, as greed outweighs conversation.
