I mean yeah, "conservative" means resistant to change. These so-called conservatives want to change everything. It's a lie like everything else they say.
The best part is that they say this as the president they backed considers ways to use his power against a list of people who he thinks weren't nice enough to him.
First off those people are not conservative- neither is Trump- they should be called out for that every time. There are plenty of conservative leaning folks around here to talk to and discuss ideas with.
Their voices are shill, juvenile, whiny, demanding, and linger in the ears like a bad smell in your nose. I hear their voices whenever I step outside. They contribute nothing but garbage. I don’t care what they’re saying because none of it is based on logic or reality. Just hate and fear.
It’s less the echo chamber thing, and more “I wanna hear from the people who actually want to see positive changes, and benefit those who are less fortunate”..
yeah I’m fine with just chilling this is where I hang out when I’m not doing something else, I don’t need it to be a hostile landscape, that’s what Twitter turned into and it sucks
the ppl that say that don't wanna hear us either lmao everyone that says that is just mad that we left X bc they have nobody left to harass. they just want to feel like they're better than someone because they're worms who will never achieve that organically
"You should engage in debate" ok, your debate topic is why my trans family members shouldn't have the right to exist, I don't have anything to talk to you about.
Okay, conservative voices, what do you have to say? "I had a nightmare of a trans person helicoptering their dong in a public bathroom! We must overturn the last 100 years of social progress! Also rich people have it too hard and deserve more tax cuts." Huh...
Most conservatives voices now only scream about things that don't matter, are factually untrue, or are calls for the misery and destruction of some minority. Why the fuck would I want to listen to any of that?
Oh, right, it actually IS refreshing to subscribe to unserious, century-old hate rhetoric from, trough-fed, dark-web intellectual consultants. Where the fuck do I sign up for this rare and sought-after service?
Democracy has this weird tendency to equalize the perceived viability of stupidity and myth with science and merit.
If we dont have rules to combat myth making then the whole system settles into a general stupidity. Pure rehtoric is not the peak of governing. But thats how US democracy treats it.
Turns out choose your own narrative rules leads to propoganda culture. Always hoping that truthful rehtoric would naturally be more attractive. Its not.
Yeah to a degree an echo chamber can be bad in terms of never being exposed to new ideas ever, but if by “echo chamber” they mean just leftists, progressives, or those who sympathize with leftism then yeah that’s based af
Is it an echo chamber or is it just escape from the worst f*cking replies and arguments you'll ever see every time you dare to say something bold like trans people should exist in peace
no, we must give equal voice to both the people that live in reality, and the insane people who think evil immigrants are around every corner holding a knife and a comically large sack.
I have seen what they claim to be free speech and am now proudly anti-free speech, and if they're mad about that as well they've only got themselves to blame
If you went to a town square, and there was a bunch of assholes shouting over everyone, and then a billionaire came along and handed said assholes megaphones, it would be a logical response to leave.
I'm not a Democrat or a centrist but I have never heard a conservative take and then scratched my chin and been like "you know they have a point" it's always the dumbest shit I've ever heard
Many people simply want to hang out in a relaxed fashion online, rather than engage in one continuous nonstop political debate about the same 5 topics for the rest of eternity
i wouldn't necessarily mind hearing conservative voices if they actually had something worthwhile to say, but hearing "video games are too woke now" ad nauseum just doesn't interest me.
the only conversative voice i want to hear is the human pet guy. he's interesting to me in the way that apes are interesting to biological anthropologists.
I prefer to think of it as one of those private phone call booths at the airport where i can briefly escape from the howling existential dread stalking our every waking moment literally everywhere else.
I love being 38 years old working myself to death trying to pay my mortgage and also being told every social media platform should be about not being social but listening to all forms of thinking from even the lowest form of human sewage that I've hated since I could form somewhat coherent sentences
I saw a post recently that was like “can’t hang out with your friends, that’s an echo chamber. You have to always invite one guy who’s just a horrible asshole to the rest of the group all the time”
Wait, no, that actually makes so much sense
I need to stop worrying about “echo chambers” and start worrying about other things (like my grades) (fuck it’s past midnight again)
exactly we've heard enough and want nothing to do with it. who's gonna tell the rightoids that u don't actually need to subject yourself to far right extremism and slurs to "consider other viewpoints"
If they want me to listen they need to step up their crank game. I want to hear conservative voices, but there's so few cybersmiths and so many tuckers
Also I like the idea that without conservatives we’re all just telling each other what we want to hear. I promise you leftists and liberals have enough enmity to last us until the heat death of the universe, we are not hurting for discourse fuel.
I grew up around conservative voices. I even thought they were right, and wow, was I wrong. Their prolonged and persistent moral and ethical lapses aren’t my responsibility to listen to. Actually, if they want to pay me $500/message, I’d be game, more if they wanted a reply.
like, just look at Elon's replies, there's no independent thought at all there because he rigged the algorithm so that only his buttkissers get any airtime!
There's no need to hear from conservatives anyway. Any leftist who knows their stuff is already aware of their views—all of which are wrong, both morally and factually.
I don’t want to hear them, I don’t want to see them, I don’t want to smell them, I don’t want them near me. They want to segregate? Fine, they can fuck off!
If someone's response to me is something along the lines of "cry more, lib," then they can go make like a Russian warship; I am not wasting my time engaging with them. Report any rule violations, block, and move on.
False equivalencies and bad actors have ruined public discourse.
Like, I would love to have an open conversation and hear alternative points of view, but 90% of the time its just bigots bashing you over the head with their ideals until you give up out of frustration.
the real response: No because i dont want to hear hate speech or outright misinformation or right wing propaganda or constant schizo posting or constant conspiracy posting.
It wouldn't surprise me if the majority of conservatives were horrible people tormenting and sucking the life out of their loved ones like a psychic parasite. I doubt their anti-social behavior stops with online anonymity. Dark triad, psychopath behavior.

they don't want conservative voices.
they want to endlessly critique conservative voices.
MAGAts and assorted shitheads are not.
Politics is just a team sport to them, and their game of choice Calvinball.
"Well, no. I absolutely DO want to hear conservative voices, but the modern GOP is a rabid group of cackling minions who can't seem to handle facts."
No one is being “silenced”
And we'll always have the DNC shills to beat up on, too.

"You should listen to some conservative news sources" Why so they can lie to me in times new Roman? I'm good.
I need to stop worrying about “echo chambers” and start worrying about other things (like my grades) (fuck it’s past midnight again)
Why should I care, but also how could I not hear their shit 24/7? I can log into any multi-player video game and hear it.
Not wanting to give oxygen to nazis is not a fucking echo chamber.
it's like saying "you don't want a sandwich, you just want to play video games"

easily in my top ten types of chamber
