These two species rest mingled together on a rock.. Day after Day. No problem. No fights.
Why? Probably because there is no competition between the cormorant [1]and the gull [2] for the same food. The cormorant feeds underwater, and the gull feeds on the water’s surface and in the air (mayflies).
On Realneo many of us don’t seem to be able to hang together restfully - instead going into virtual attack mode against others of our same species.
Why?
I think there are a few reasons:
1. The fighters on Realneo and other sites are looking for the same web food - for wallets and self esteem.
2. There is a proclivity to fight with those whose views are most like yours. This is because the people whose views are most like yours are the people you associate with to begin with. You can’t very easily fight with someone with whom you have no association. That happened recently on Realneo.
3. In military/government Covert Ops - it is always effective to try to trigger different fractions of your enemy to fight themselves, instead of fighting you. Did you ever wonder why the Palestinian Hamas and Fatah fractions ended up fighting each other?
