 This sounds like it’s framing nostr (like many have with Twitter before) as largely a platform for political discourse. 

Much talk on this platform has nothing to do with spouting beliefs or political agendas. 

Many here talk about their computer setups, running nodes and relays, the lightning network, 3D printing, and other hobbies/endevours. 

Some do so in places where it’s not legal/acceptable. Others, like myself, simply do not owe the world the right for our personal tech infrastructure to be doxed. 

We’re also not talking about a centralized platform, but an open protocol, that if scales and succeeds, the features and freedoms of one’s npub/nsec traversing the internet, now forever tied with a “real ID” in your argument, is a double-edged sword with potentially frightening consequences.
