Eh, I agree with you, but Lemmy is it’s own special flavor of echo chamber. In the real world I’m super leftist, but on Lemmy I’m somehow the voice of conservatism. Lemmy needs some additional feedback because most everyone is saying the same thing as everyone else without any contrary opinion.
True but there are a lot of like full tilt anarchists and, I guess I’d call them soviet flavored “communists” here as compared to like reddit. But mostly a lot of people just don’t really know what constitutes left or right wing.
It’s entirely possible you’re not as leftist as you think you are, but there’s also a number of tankies around here.
You might be right, my statements come from a US frame of reference. In the total spectrum I’m probably fairly centrist while in nonUS perspectives, but in US perspectives I’m moderate heavily leaning left. At the end of the day I still believe in a democracy which still leaves openings for conservatives. I’m not a true socialist in leftist European environs.
US politics isn’t the real world. If anything it’s more of an echo chamber than Lemmy. Because the working class really isn’t represented at all and it’s just the oligarchs arguing with each other from the center and the far right.
And surprise, you are outside the capitalist bubble. On a federated platform now hearing the actual opinions of working-class people, not the opinions of Democrats. Or their echoes from your liberal countrymen.
And leftist argue so much we have jokes about it, and how we can’t get anything done in spite of the fact that solidarity is one of our guiding principles. I am a far leftist. I’m anti authoritarian to my core. There are also authoritarian leftists, people who get called tankies around here a lot. Apologists for Stalin and Mao.
Just because you’ve been living in a propaganda bubble, ie an echo chamber your whole life, that does not make things outside that bubble an echo chamber.
The post I’m responding to is on Lemmy.World and everyone in the comments is saying the same thing over and over again so idk what you want with your response. Be obtuse if you want.
Echo chambers are shit, it’s the reason the world is the way it is. If you want to sit in a circle and jerk off with people that share your opinion then be my guest, but to pretend it’s a good thing is a bridge too far. Honest discourse and people checking each other is the foundational rhetoric of a democratic society, without it democracy dies.
The outside world is full of conservative hate and outright racism at the moment, it’s ok to have a space where people aren’t actively hateful. Surrounding yourself with hate every day is more detrimental imo. Lemmy gives me a feeling of hope.
Shirt is cool, Lemmy is an echo chamber
Everywhere is an echo chamber you just need to recognize what it’s echoing and not getting caught up in it.

Then yeah, center-left at best.

echo chambers are fine; i’d rather spend my time with likeminded people instead of yelling and arguing. if i wanted to do that i’d join debate club.
