Just so we can put that theory to the test.

I would love that

so much

if only to laugh the hardest i ever have in a long time

as the entire internet implodes

Also Matt is forever alone in the live room

Right wing echo chambers aren't so bad

Echo chambers are all bad

You can already jerk it in your own home, you don't need a website

Some are vastly worse than others. and besides, when it comes to this youtube channel, you're among like-minded people. Nothing better than belonging to a nice group

Matt, quit beating it in the live room 😛

some of us share that room with you

I disagree with Greeley. I do feel a certain comfort among being with like minded people, no doubt, but I know that nothing is going to change on the whole in the country if like minded people just gather and exclude everyone else

I spend 8 hours a day, five days a week, in a left wing echo chamber. When they find out what I do outside of my 40 hour a week job, I won't be spending any more time there

I love echo chambers

it is fun because it makes me feel like i am not so alone

I think the best ideas are made when like-minded people are together

oh wait that may have not come off as a joke

i was making a play on the fact i have no friends

so having my echo to talk to would be nice

The group isn't operating with diametrically opposed presuppositions, like how it is with leftists vs conservatives and nothing ends up getting done

besides, *everyone else* isn't necessarily excluded. I'm sure there's democrats who watch Beauty and the Beta who happen to be anti-SJW

and that's one of the major pillars of the show

I guess I'd rather just discuss an idea rather than trying to impose it on someone who disagrees

I'm the kind of guy who would rather sell my ideas than to jam them down someone's throat

If we're not talking about an echo chamber that just likes to hang out, but talking about a group that is trying to work together to get things done, it's better to have everyone on board objectively

When I brought it up, I was referring to Twitter and Gab

the rate it's going, conservatives won't go on Twitter because they're all booted, and leftists won't go on Gab because they won't participate in a platform they can't control

J Edgar - Do you believe or trust most people are smart enough to make decisions that will affect others or even have a decent time horizon to recognize a good idea (good in the long run)?

normally yes, but in the late political landscape, my faith in that is slipping rapidly

So what you meant by trying to make the country a better place, you simply meant having a neutral place where anyone can feel welcomed and exchange ideas on equal footing

I get ya

or even discuss in general

Yeah it's plain to see online discourse is very, very lopsided on platforms

I'm really afraid that if we keep going deeper into our corners, we're going to fall into another civil war, and I don't believe it's going to be as lopsided as the conservatives love to say

It's a very tricky thing to grasp. Like I mentioned, being diametrically opposed with values is something that can't be reconciled. As in pro-lifers putting inherent value on life, and pro-abortionists putting inherent value on the woman's right to decide what is done to her body regardless on how far that goes

they will simply talk past each other, and not directly address questions posed

"Oh so you think murdering children is okay"
"Oh so you want to control women"

I really think that if the people on the ground got together and talked, they'd find out that they have a lot more in common than they really think. I used to think that about all people on the right and the left, but the governmental opposition to Trump has shaken that belief
