I'm tired of talking to people here about the war in Ukraine, because unfortunately, I'm likely to hear nonsense about “NATO expansion,” “Putin has his reasons,” “Nazis in Ukraine,” or “persecution of russians in Ukraine.” Either people are hopelessly stupid, or russian propaganda is very effective.

@CaolanRob on the flyers in Kharkiv, Ukraine, teaching civilians what to do to try to avoid dying from a Russian FPV drone attack.
Russians use Ukrainian civilians in frontline cities as literal target practice.

Nostr is an even more extreme version of Bitcoin Twitter in many ways. It seems to have attracted a bunch of die hard contrarians with worthless opinions.
Maybe its also being actively astroturfed. But nostr is so niche I doubt it.
Worst part about it is a lot of these people aren't dumb. They're smart enough to latch on to non-mainstream nonsense to get an audience. It's a form of intellectual fraud really. And considering the subject matter, a pretty evil form of it.
Self defeating too: these psychos have a damn good chance of getting Bitcoin and freedom tech killed off.
maybe. my feeling is that for people it is easier to stick to the pattern than understand the real picture. pattern says - government prints money and funds the wars, so ukraine war fits this pattern perfectly.
also it is interesting to watch how some "bitcoin influencers" avoiding saying their opinion on this subject.
The most disgusting example was when Tucker Carlson interviewed putin and many people here started saying, “Oh, putin is quite intelligent and a reasonable person.” That's when I finally lost faith in exceptional intelligence of "bitcoiners" )
Yeah Pete, you're a case in point.
Don't think everyone is the same here.
"It seems to have attracted a bunch of die hard contrarians with worthless opinions."
#nostr is not a eden garden, and now they are more and more people here not especially bitcoiner.
Some people are interesting to listen or react to some opinion, some other to share their own opinion.
But some other are here for propaganda. And only that.
Don't confuse them with simple users here.
They are here only to add oxygen to any fire, as they already do on other social media.
That's why it is important to reply, to say we are not all the same, to oppose truth to obvious lies.
Because if no one do this, it will stay here only one voice, the propaganda one.
And it is true for these topics that i have seen here :
- China that is a "perfect" clean country, were people live happy and Uyghur are just opposing leaders peacefully, but they are not exterminated anyone...
- The fake news about European leaders that can introduce some doubt in weakness minds and push them to vote for "cleaner" nationalist that will broke any union against foreign enemy... How would U.S.A. be strong without the "U" letter ?
- Russia has just the right to exterminate Ukrainian civilian because ______ (you can put any reasons here, everybody know it is bullshit, but they try, and try again until some doubt came in weakness mind).
- Israel has just the right to exterminate Palestinian civilian because ______ (you can put any reasons here, everybody know it is bullshit, but they try, and try again until some doubt came in weakness mind). Even if for this "old" conflict they are many civilian that have been murdered on both side.
There is NO reasons and NO excuses to exterminate peoples like that.
So yes, here and anywhere else they are people only writing propaganda posts.
Does it means we are all dumb here ? no.
Does it means we have to stay quiet ? no.
Just focus on the good people voice for you, other will just be muted again and again.
