It’s funny how people don’t realize that social interaction in general is largely a series of echo chambers. Your group of friends all likely share common interests and opinions, but no news correspondent is writing articles about how bad that is and how you should add a fascist or two to your New Year’s Eve party to balance it out.
Social media isn’t some public debate floor. It’s a platform for social interaction, and if nobody wants to listen to you, there’s probably a reason why. This obsession with neutrality and both sides-ism is poisoning our social relationships. Progressives not only far outnumbered conservatives in posting politics, they also far outnumbered conservatives in general. These platforms see a rise in conservative views (and then extremism) as they make more left leaning people feel unwelcome and drive them off the platform.
