I don’t get the echo-chamber thing. Usually that is because you haven’t got enough faith in your own arguments. Similar to religious fanatics - opposing their beliefs can get you killed. Everybody makes mistakes and is wrong sometimes and that certainly applies to our governments.
Trump will make a bunch of them too, pretty sure the average conservative will not agree with everything he does.
I argued with a leftist recently who thought it made perfect sense for the Biden administration to cut all contact with the Putin administration.
The left seems to view information and points of view as a sort of fluid that simply mixes in a person’s head.
They don’t believe in their own ability to consider an alternate point of view without adopting it, nor to speak with someone they disagree with, without becoming brainwashed by that person.
Like not wanting your blue water to come into contact with any red water because then your blue will get more red.
The left seems to be united, but that is only because they have one common enemy. Some really think he is the new Hitler and then there is no room for any nuance.
I don’t believe anyone on the left supports wasting money on ridiculous projects though. Also the woke agenda is not supported by everyone. Hopefully once the dust has settled from the Trump administration, the left will take a good look at themselves and start to acknowledge some of their biggest mistakes.
As a European I am glad Trump is shaking things up. Europe is turning into Latin America - overregulated and overtaxed with a lot of network corruption.
Yeah, I just saw a thread from a few days ago trying to ban me. A big thread from a few weeks ago advocated banning me across the entire fediverse.
All because I post news articles about Trump. I don’t write them. And I don’t even advocate for everything he does. But I post opinions against the norm, so they wanna ban me!
If ya go to your search bar and search for “I’m Calling For the Fediverse to Ban UniversalMonk” thread, it was posted to Fediverse@lemmy.world), you’ll see they are mad just because I post about Trump. Even tho I didn’t vote for him! And they wanted me posted from the entire fediverse! lmao
Over 300 upvotes. I have a picture of it in my profile. I’d post the link, but I don’t know how to link to the article when it’s on a different instance.
Like they are working sooo hard to make this an echo chamber.
By the way, I just noticed your instance name.I’m on that instance! Seems more balanced than most!
Instance if very small - not much traffic and local content yet. I sometimes add some interesting (imho) libertarian stuff there. Currently mainly about economics and Argentina. I’m not the admin - that’s Bobr

Yep, many on Lemmy believe that if you don’t hate Trump, then you are a nazi. I know, because many accuse me of that very thing! lol
I didn’t vote for him, but I love that he is shaking things up. Getting things done and shaking up the status quo.
