Do you ever worry about putting yourself in a echo chamber? Serious question you just have such strong opinions is it hard to talk to anyone who doesn't agree with you?
so i get this specific question pretty regularly, &usually in much more disrespectful ways lmao, so for the record i'm answering this because i'm taking it in good faith anon, lol, please don't let me down.
to be totally frank, i don't really see where this idea that i put myself in an echo chamber can even come from. i put in a lot of effort-- a LOT of effort-- to finding media&information shared by people who have unavoidably different experiences from mine, points of view that i couldn't possibly really understand without going&looking for those who actually have the lived experience to do so. i think what i'm REALLY being accused of (usually) is flatout refusing to consider the opinion of centrists&bigots-- or, more politely i suppose: white supremacists, terfs, radfems, fascists, cops, ect. which is true-- i do flatout refuse to consider their opinions, lol. but i do not see how i could possibly put myself in any form of "echo chamber" about the opinions supported by those groups, seeing as they hold the primary power&narrative, lmao. it doesn't matter how much i try to curate my life-- i live as a broke, sick, disabled, sex working, woman-presenting&genderfluid person of colour. there is no way-- NO way-- i could live my life without having to deal with what those facts mean in the society we currently live in. which, from what i can tell, is the case for most people who are accused of living in an "echo chamber", lol.
