It’s not an echo chamber we just don’t accept hate speech and shitty right wing media. It’s really interesting to see how hard the pundit class is trying to claim that if you don’t accept far right and increasingly fascist viewpoint, you live in an echo chamber. This is a demonstrable lie.

Know this: “It’s not an echo chamber we just don’t accept hate speech and shitty right wing media.”💯
Stadiums are echo chambers. You don't see people in rival gear trying to convert and convince home team fans.
Places of Worship are echo chambers.
Clubs and orga are echo chambers.
The problem isn't the chamber, but what is echoing.
I'm OK about the confirmation, sometimes we are fumble-fingered, but putting it right there will make the kaupapa here very clear
"No."
Still deciding what to do with that info.
your children, your only options is to silence them, resists and defeat them.
Our Fascists have promised to cut taxes on the top of the economy and defund the few public goods & services MAGA relies upon
Also Marxist-Leninists, who aren't Stalinists
If people hadn't been so damn polite to MAGA, and had really challenged the movement, maybe it wouldn't have been normalized.
We have real work to do.
I fear the giant ‘no input’ in the sky.
My ‘to read’ list has just grown!
If their masters demand they disparage opposition to fascism most will leap to acquiesce.
We just manage to not be dicks about it!
Like liberals, social democrats, socialists and anarchists, plus people whose politics is not easy to describe.
Fascists, on the other hand? Shouldn't be amongst the first hundred viewpoints you give consideration to. Or even the first thousand.
I am done, completely done with the other side. In their eyes, I'm a lesser human being, so fuck them. I'm looking after myself. They don't deserve my respect and they get to be the lesser human beings. They're intolerant anti-American fuckers.
Lost track of folks saying canceling subscriptions to @washingtonpost.com for its craven refusal to endorse a presidential candidate was going to be a problem for the journalists employed there.
In the meantime, the REAL problem always was, and IS, billionaires controlling media.
This is an outrage!
🤪🤪🤪
its not a paradox anymore
tolerance is a social contract thing, and it works both ways
if they cant follow the rules of the social contract, they dont get the benefits that come with following it
or something like that idk 🤷♀️
We're just giving them a societal timeout so they can try to think about their poor behavior. They can throw a tantrum if they want but nobody wants to play with bullies so we're not going to concede.
Let them stew in it.
Once you accept that there is an orchestrated effort, sponsored by foreign enemies, to use disinformation to manipulate public opinion, you realize that all of mainstream political discourse is the echo chamber, and this is the escape route.
Why is online any different? It's a bunch of BS from bullies.
A short emotive writing on this. Intended audience is liberals and those left of liberals.
“The whole problem of freedom in the realm of ideas is that of establishing an institutional framework that permits the fullest and freest criticism of every view or theory, while at the same time protecting freedom… from suppression by violence or by propaganda.” - Popper
