I wasn't going to bother posting, because it would be WAY too long, and the thread is very long already, but since I just had a conversation with my dad (senior citizen), I must say that he (and probably millions of others) classify a group by 1-2 people they had bad experiences with. Being a person is tough enough, and more division is going to swallow us.
Another little observation from physical and internet life is how people who are hurting in their own life can misdirect their melancholy and rage and attribute some of it to ... whoever. Unfortunately, there are millions to be made with the big issues of the moment, and the amount of inaccuracy is very troubling, so I would urge people to compare primal reactions, go chronologically to avoid missing redacted stories, or official stories that keep changing.
This might sound saccharine, but I'd love to see videos of both sides of the conflict who are in solidarity not politically, but as people. The sad thing is that the Palestinians/Israelis + Ukrainians/Russians are basically cousins. It's also sad to see how many people mention how politics have caused family members and friends to stop talking..... Talk music instead? Listening to the right stuff won't solve the problems, but it will give your soul some nutrition and keep you above water.
I don't identify with groups (outside of certain music, movies, comedy), especially one I had no control over, and I'm also not a member of any of the 4 main groups mentioned, but I still get emotional over this no matter how hard I want to remain strong.
