1 hr news cycle might be terminal... for ALL of us

24hr news is probably the seed of ourage culture.

I can see people sitting infront of the TV around the clock.

nah, 'outrage culture' is simply the mechanism of social ridicule and standards suffering information overload

some shit people SHOULD be outraged over

like pedos

I'm not sure about that. It only seems to affect coddled people that have never left a big city.

coddled people don't LIVE in big cities

3rd gen city dwellers have no fucking clue what goes out outside the city they were born in.

they only visit but don't interact, like tourists ina caged truck on safari

so?

that's isn't nessecarily BAD

They're in a bubble.

who isn't?

you aren't except of that, you know

neither am i

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.
