    The only echo chambers that even exist for leftist thought are maybe like insular academics in Vietnam who specialize in Marxist studies. Nowhere in the West or even in English speaking spaces is truly some echo chamber because we’re inundated with capitalist pressure from every direction every second of our lives, even if we’re on a forum where we make goofs about libs.

    We can’t have one single space to communicate with like-minded people? We’re the ones who’ve brainwashed ourselves because we dare to say maybe western hegemony is a bad thing? Try saying anything nice in America about Chinese people, Muslims, or whoever the current enemy is supposed to be this week.

    There’s a massive blanket of bloodthirsty national pride and hatred of poor people that infects every single aspect of mass culture, social relations, everything. We’re the ones who are trying to break free of all that. And yet we’re in an echo chamber for all agreeing that the problem exists in the first place.

    Aaaa I hate liberal discourse
