Stooge. The rich laugh while you blame other poor people for your plight. When will these morons realize race and religion are just tools of the powerful to control others and distract from their crimes.

.....wait. Am I in an echo chamber? I've been saying this for years. Am I upvoting you because you're right? Or just because it's what I already agree with?

Is the fact that I'm self aware of the problem enough to notice a real echo chamber? Or am I still vunerable to not being able to tell reality from talking points?

This switch from reddit is weird. I'm used to being the one to make that point. Usually after someone says something stupid.

You're absolutely still vulnerable, and the fact you sometimes notice you're in an echo chamber means that when you don't spot it you're more likely to think you're not in one, even if you are. It's an interesting dilemma; if you're not aware then you risk falling into any echo chamber, but the more aware you are of a trap like this normally, the more you risk being sucked in due tp misplaced confidence when you miss the signs.

Stay alert, keep questioning why you agree with others and welcome to Lemmy!

Is there any community on lemmy.world where you can ask Lemmy/Fediverse questions?

[-] notabot@lemm.ee 5 points 4 months ago

!support@lemmy.world might be a good place for that.

No war but the class war.

[-] ccunning@lemmy.world 18 points 4 months ago

The culture war serves as a distraction from the class war

When will these morons realize

Never, that's why they're morons.
