This post may be offensive to some. If you are religious or a Steem Nut do not read any further.

Pretence. This is one of those words you do not want to break up. Dissecting this word to find a meaning might leave you thinking it something to do with number below 10. Pre-ten-ce, no Idea what the ce would mean, If I could write you into believing it was something to do with a number below ten, I would be a better writer than I think I am.

Pretence is basically deceiving people. A kind of social magic, Were we watch the hands of the politician. This is the charade being played out. To distract us from the workings behind the scenes. A temporary figure put in place so we have a target to blame. Actors who come and enter the political scene for a short period and disappear into the background with wealth gained from misrepresentation of the nation. Maybe I should not write about pretence in a political manner.

Maybe Steem is also a topic I should not relate it too, Considering the corruption and centralisation of power which has gone on and appears to continue. Threats and counter actions and now a new entity to get funding that it appears also the designated project was already decided. When more time has been given to an outside entity to the foundation being formed. Were the entity is also looking for an integration with a foundation not yet formed. This gets promoted with more air time than any of the projects proposed.

The pretence of the Steem Alliance is held in question by many. Those involved in it and supporting the pretences knowingly or not will vote to support the main popular character that put out a proposal. The tempering off from a vote power will have no effect at the levels put forward. There is already a community behind one proposal before it was wrote.

We can but try to fight against the greed.

My next target would be religion. That has to be the biggest pretence ever. Even within the religion there is conflict of meaning and the twisting of words to give a pretence to the meaning. The majority of people are aware of this and live in fear of admitting to their non belief. It can be plainly seen by the actions and inactions of people. If they believed in a God they would not behave in the manners they do.

Even if the universe was created by an entity we cannot comprehend. The assumption that we are a favourite is a joke. In the vastness of the universe if we are the only intelligent life, then we are a fluke. To create a whole universe to house us and not just one sun one planet seems a bit over the top. So the theory God many the whole universe of which we can only see a portion of it Put us here on this planet so we could worship him for his creation. Yea. Sorry to burst the bubble and offend, But a book load of pretence.
