The ring implies religion (that which binds anew); the conflict within implies reason, and the onlookers outside imply mass ignorance.

Those within conflicts of reason are repleting their resistance against each other; while tempting onlookers to focus on the conflict; which thereby are binding themselves too into a box.

The few suggesting what the conflict is about are operating out of bounds; remain hidden among mass ignorance; control both sides of every conflict within the ring, while getting empowered from behind to shape destruction upfront.
