Reddit is the one creating the echo chamber...

The alternate sites are the relief to that echo chamber.

This is just some MSM people mad they can't control the narrative 100%

After calling for people to be censored on Big Tech social platforms, Stelter isn't happy when they go elsewhere either.

That's funny, I just said that on reddit yesterday. It doesn't benefit anyone to purge people off mainstream sites because they end up on fringe ones, and then you have two echo chambers, one for conservatives and one for libs.

So? When my children fight, I sometimes send them to separate rooms to cool off, before addressing reconcilliation. Maybe that's not a bad thing.

But we know that if they do go to alternative sites, then a free market works...

The idea that liberal activists do not deliberately seek out free speech spaces to infest with their shit is easily disprovable. 4chan, now with leftist bo and mod replacement, for example. Infiltrate and corrupt is leftist mo

You’re observing patterns of people with “liberal” opinions joining websites and assuming it’s an “infiltration.” They’re literally just people who think differently from you. It’s not a conspiracy.

[–]bobbobbybob 3 insightful - 3 fun3 insightful - 2 fun4 insightful - 3 fun -  (19 children)

. It’s not a conspiracy.

except when it is coordinated and you can read the coordination threads. Quite literally. The 4chan perversion has been clearly spelt out by the new, leftist BO, now fuck off and go gaslight someone else

How is this gaslighting? I've never seen any evidence that it's a conspiracy. For me to be "gaslighting" I'd have to be in on it and purposely misleading you. Both sides seem to be plagued with propaganda from what I have observed, but I'm open minded to learn more if you truly think otherwise. No need to be so aggressive lmao

gaslighting

Again, in order for this to be gaslighting I'd have to somehow be in on it and purposely misleading others. As someone not strongly on either side I don't get why both sides think there is a conspiracy against them. I'm willing to hear you out if you want to explain.

Many people who have suffered at the hands of virtuous leftists censoring wrongthink on other sites have understandably grown very suspicious, and apprehensive of coordinated efforts to subvert open speech platforms. He's right that there are organized shills, who disrupt and try to get these sites shut down.

But, sometimes oblivious left leaning people get painted with this broad brush stroke too.

[–][deleted] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

Thank you for that comment, that actually makes a lot of sense. I may be left leaning but I've been censored for wrongthink too, mostly because I've stated that life begins at conception and biological sex exists, which are no-no topics for the left. So I totally get that.

I just hope people can open their minds a little, especially on sites like this. Not everyone who is somewhat liberal is a robot. But I do get it, I used to hate conservatives until I stepped out of my bubble and got a better understanding of their views.

you continue to gaslight.

There is plenty of evidence that leftists deliberately invade and brigade sites. If you could be bothered looking, or if i could figure out a way to post images anonymously, then I could show you a leftist tranny who became board owner of 4vhan's /pol/ skiting about their plan to totally pervert the board.

But continue with your dumb arsed position, pretending everything is as you say it is, and continue to pretend that you don't know what is going on, with your bad faith debating tactics.

You have absolutely no idea what I believe. This is the kind of thing that makes the right wing look bad. I asked for an explanation, someone else gave me one, and I understood. No one is "pretending" anything here. You're doing the same shit people complain about with reddit.

bullshit bad faith debating right there

Put a mask on your cunt to stop the covid?

I can tell from your comments that you're super smart

[–]bobbobbybob 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

I can tell from your comments that you are a cunt, high on your own sense of superiority and riddled with tiresome but, i'm sure for your ego, amazing, snark

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

I actually don't feel superior, not sure why you think that. I like reading opinions and occasionally adding my own.

You lie. your comments are full of throwaway put downs that require the context of a sense of superiority of thought

Not true. I regularly fight with morons that think all world events are jewish conspiracies on here. And we can't do anything about each other. It's perfect.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who blames every problem the world currently faces on the jews, unless it's a bot or a forum slider.

It's one of the pieces to the puzzle.

'Echo chamber': anywhere were liberals do not control the speech.

1984 was a scary read, but far worse as a lived experience

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

There are echo chambers on both sides of the political spectrum

[–]asterias 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

So he suggests we should have only one kind of tech platforms, as was the case under stalinism.

Brian Settler, a carbuncle on the devil's ass!

Typical communist projection.
