There’s no such thing as a Left wing echo chamber. An echo chamber is, by definition, a place where all you hear is those who agree with you. No one on the Left can escape the non-stop RW screeching that has come to define our age. It’s everywhere.
On the other hand, it IS possible for many on the RW to spend their lives without any exposure to ideas from the other side. This is partly demonstrated by the bizarre definitions of Left wing positions that many on the Right subscribe to, and partly by how they seem to only have heard of strawman Leftist positions conveyed to them by other RW nuts.
What some call a Left Wing echo chamber is just an attempt by those on the receiving end of cruelty, apathy, and discrimination to build a little community where they might feel like they are not in danger. Calling that an echo chamber is to display a spectacular misunderstanding of the discourse.
The worst a RW nut ever faces is Left wing opinions. Those on the Left face actual attacks, invasions, killings, and oppressions. The Leftist echo chamber is not only a laughably hollow idea, it’s also a physical impossibility. RW “opinions” manifest in physical reality and come after them to kill.

Hello,
Thank you for writing this.
This makes so much sense. Most “both sides” arguments are not in good faith.
