This was a simple post on what happens when left and right meets. The responses were kinda scary and unexpected. But when I thought about it, the world is so divided that any form of meeting each other halfway right now, is unbearable for so many.
Democracy is only at its best when people have the power. And people can only have the power when they come together. But gov'ts have a done a great jobs with divide and conquer. On top of that, religious manipulations, military oppression and they get to control social media too.
I know there's been a lot of talks on Nostr not doing to well compared to X,Y,Z - but the only real public town square right now, is right here.
In Nostr, there is no "only left" or "only right" (maybe "only zaps" =) ). On top of Nostr devs developing and growing these platforms, they will face the challenges of the left and right coming together. It's going to be chaotic, messy, narcissistic, angst and all of it.
But this is how the world will start its healing process.
And the beauty of Nostr is, everyone will get to find what they love through diff clients and relays
I could have responded better and that's my learning curve. I guess when it comes to politics I'm a bit of an atheist. And while these conversations are not the most pleasant thing, it's a great reminder of the many stumbling blocks we will face before we can all meet each other halfway. And I look forward to the day when that happens.
