haha "this doesn't happen" ok then bud :)

It doesn't take a genius to notice this occurs in many spaces, and to deny it is just to be ignorant of a glaringly obvious internet phenomenon. Check out any political space.

Check out any political "space" (whatever that means) that you are accustomed to. Of course they censor! It's because the central ideology is weak. If you start to consider the topic objectively then the whole house of cards will come tumbling down.

If you can't "punch a nazi" then you accept they have a right to speak, which means they might say something worth hearing, which means you should consider what they say, which means you might be wrong about something. Whatever else you might do, you cannot actually consider the issues. Violence is preferable to thought.

The issue of the Left refusing to debate and using censorship instead is discussed at length in this excellent piece: https://newdiscourses.com/2020/07/woke-wont-debate-you-heres-why/

lol what are you even going on about

I'm not advocating FOR echo chambers, I'm saying they exist.

Obviously nuanced debate is the best way to develop well informed opinions through seeing both sides of an argument. No one is disputing that.
