I think I realised why I'm intuitively drawn to Nostr.

Because I want to end war, or at least minimize it as far as possible. And we can't do that in a world that's increasingly being censored.

Yes, of course, there are dictators, sympathisers and vehement supporters that have succumbed to the propaganda. And this is true for all sides.

But, if calling them those names means you've found a way to avoid a deeper understanding of their reasoning, then you don't really want to end war.

Because you cannot end conflict if you don't first understand its deepest motivations.

You should not agree with the propagandists, warmongers, dictators, or anyone else who advocates for violence as a solution.

But you definitely should listen to them. Because how else will you understand them?

And, in a world where censorship is only increasing, without uncensorable communications protocol how will you continue listening?

Very well put! The Putin interview is a good example. The mainstream media doesn't want us to watch it, and many people don't want to watch it because believe that Putin and Russia are evil and they have to die. So they don't want to end war...

As Bitcoiners, by now, we have people on both sides of pretty much every conflict. I don't know if that'll ever prove to be useful, but so hope so.
