Big time

I was a normie during the 2016 election

Even if it's just the environment they live in and the people around them

I swung around a lot based off what I heard

But you have friends who tend to see things like u do othereise you wouldnt get along

People aren't in a vacuum ever

There are friends and the mainstream narrative

it's that self-selection that consitutes an echo-chamber, ma

But that isn't a bubble

The majority of the world thinks and reacts in ways much different than what one assumes

Echo chambers dont have to be completely cut off from the world

They don't

Just interpret things from the outside in the same mannee

Manner*

I consider being on here to be an echo chamber

it'sa bubble without firm boundaries

Yup true

Here is also an echo chamber

But I don't think someone just living their life is in an echo chamber despite the media

Hanging with intellectuals is as well

they may or may not be

They could very well be in one with their friends though

yes

because you self-select friends

Yup

I know this is an echo chamber because I remember life before being in an echo chamber

And you dont talk about the same things with all friends

Guys i hang out with, we talk sports... women, work

Not politics

just because you dont doesn't mean people dont, ma

That is an oxymoron

I've self selected in such a way that I talk mostly the same things with everyone

Same goes for u and everyone

the internet greatly increases the likelihood of echo chambers because it erases the limitations placed on homogeneity by geography

Not even that

Irl you have to talk to people in a group you disagree with

talk to, but not necessarily about the things you disagree

On the internet you can form spaces for people of similar opinions

Your statement assumes LIKE YOU rather than LIKE ME.. there is no 'like' outside of people dont change their lenses

I used to talk to irl people about things they disagree with

depends on the things, samaritan
