good luck with that..
Stanford prison experiment
I know humans and most of them suck. Given power to silence opposing views, most will.
I know this, if the BS on here doesn't stop with whales being the guards, I will take up a huge effort to destroy this Steemit brand, cause it is really out of hand and the whales, and founders of Steemit aren't doing anything about it. So if they want it to just run it's course, I'm good with that.
I have more power and influence OUTSIDE of this platform than in it :)
Time for them to pull their heads out of their 4 point of contacts and fix it!
Re steeming
Good thoughts tho.

I don't think that's what the prison experiment showed us exactly. It was more a proof that people take on their given roles without a second thought.
Well that would imply that the role of A CO in a prison is to abuse humans and their power. I am more of the stance that absolute power corrupts absolutely. Only the truly strong have the ability to see it, call it out, and defend against it. I have not seen ONE whale do so. Not a one.
You are right about that association of a CO's job being to abuse. That's the fucked up thing about it. Their job is to punish. Punishment is not effective when dealing with most people, especially the mentally disturbed. If we had a functional prison system, it would serve the function of promoting stable and functional mental health, not punishment for the sake of punishment.
I have not been on Steemit long enough to see exactly what it is that you are talking about, at the moment I am loving Steemit. I enjoy the conversations I have here, and the people are very kind. I am sorry it took me so long to reply I could not get to my computer to save my life yesterday, I do hear what you are saying and would like to know what is happening for you on steemit. Could you explain maybe in a reply or a post what it is that is going on to upset you this way?
