This is one of the posts that I would be worried posting on centralized media, but I trust in Nostr to handle ok-ish.

I noticed an interesting "conflict" on social media (Nostr included) about the war and specifically in Ukraine.

We have a person (A) that lives in (or has close association with) Ukraine, their friends have died, their homes are under attack by an army holding Russian flag. They want to defend their home, they fight back, they want to destroy the group that's trying take over their home.

We have another person (B) that takes the perspective of how war is pointless, how it's actually being caused, financed and controlled by either specific country (USA, Germany, China, etc) or a specific shadow group to gain some advantage on the geopolitical field. Person (B) suggests that we should dethrone those shadow groups, we should remove their power, we should not participate in their wars.

First person (A) vents with some specific event/situation on Nostr, Twitter, etc and person (B) replies with their perspective and suggest that person (A) should not participate on the war or explains their virtue in some way. This triggers person (A) since they have only two options - flee their home (risky), or defend it against the group attacking (risky).

And now (A) and (B) go back and forth, providing more arguments to support their vantage point perspective. But the thing is - they are both right and they agree with each other aggressively without knowing it. They just talk in different layers and timeframes of the situation that don't really intersect.

My hope is that highlighting this disconnect will help (A) and (B) actually connect on the shared cause for freedom and peace.
