Enough people like that and you have a hoard of idiots voting for detrimental stuff.

when was that NOT the case?

tell me a SINGLE time in history that didn't play a major factor?

I'm not saying it hasn't been, it's just gotten so bad where it's we can't even contain the problem.

that is because no one MUST interact with those they don't wish to

How would you force it?

in the past, you either conformed to those withing the limited number of groups you had in your vicinity, OR you spent your life in isolation

the left cannot TOLERATE isolation

this was the biggest leverage in keeping them sensible

They seem to thrive on issolation.

you kidding? what makes you think that?

They create alternatives narratives to counter facts that go against them.

People were 'forced' because they didn't have the internet providing a pseudo-social outlet every moment of every day

relationships were few but deep and meaninful

now they are plentiful and shallow

and you can ALWAYS goto another redit where people agree no matter HOW crazy your ideas

'Facts' aren't nessecarily 'truths'

Nah, even before the internet we had gaps between city and country folk. If anything that line is blurring due to the internet, since it allows all there classes of people to be in the same place.

facts are what people as a majority come to accept as truth

but often, that doesn't agree with what IS the truth

Talking about tangents.

the modern internet creates echo chambers thanks to search algorithms and block lists

it's not tangential though

it's about the impetus

That's the algos and specific sites, not the internet itself. People choose to go into echo chambers.

yeah

yes and no, because if someone WANTS a certain group to exist, it WILL exist

They don't calkl them safe spaces for nothing.

that isnt' so in the real world

thats why thousands of confused democrats say "i dont know anyone who voted for trump"

in the real world, you have to at least have some degree of people skills to first organize to share even BAD ideas

It's literally for people who can't argue for themselves, so have to be somewhere where no one will question them - in other words coddled.

that doesn't apply online

so?

there will ALWAYS be people who 'can't argue for themselves'; even YOU will fall into that category

hell, the more specialized society becomes, the more we ALL fall into that category

cause we can't do everything ourselves

we can't understand all the details, read every post, be experts in everything

not enough hours in our lives

the BIGGEST issue that the Left, RIght and even Center face today is that we ALL must filter out what we deem irrelvant
