I'm not wading into the battle here. Do I think there's some echo-chamberness here? Of course I do. But that's human nature. You'll get it everywhere and, frankly, I'm more interested in what causes it than railing against it. Perhaps I'm turning a new leaf, but I'm beginning to think it's better to learn why people tribalize, and find ways to lead them to consider the flaws and insecurities that lead us to congeal behind things and parrot one another as we do, than bluntly yell at people for being, well, people.
To borrow from Ronnie James Dio, "If you listen to fools... (where's Less or Slave to fill in the rest?)" But that doesn't mean it can't be fun to watch, or engage.
