Did this Bottom Writer leave the Bottom?

After being on Medium for five years, I take great pride in being a bottom writer on Medium. Why do I take such a pleasure in being a loser?

My main reason for being on Medium is to promote my alternative democracy. I regard Medium as the best audience for the TDG (my alternative democracy). Yet Medium readers have soundly rejected my ideas. If the world’s most enlightened internet forum cannot yet see why western democracy must be replaced, then this is only another sign of how the powerful people have paralyzed the smartest of us. I am the canary in the coal mine.

The powerful allow us to complain, blame, protest, write internet articles, and vote. So we do these things, hoping that the overly ambitious people we vote for will somehow change things for us. Even though they do not do these things for us (or very reluctantly do so), we still continue to complain, blame, protest, write internet articles, and vote as if they will. All these actions have proven to not change the system, which works well for the powerful, who will graciously allow us to continue to use the techniques of their democracy.

I am about changing the system.

I consider being a bottom writer on this forum as a badge of honor. I am standing into the wind and the waves…
