I do not recall an instance where MDC or Herbi or others were banned for their political speech.  

Not banning someone is not proof that an echo chamber is non existent.

We can agree to disagree on this point. This behavior is integral to the creation of the echo chamber, it does not merely eliminate dissenting viewpoints it discourages it from others, even in minor forms.

Cancellation, banning, silencing....its all the same core of evil that we should collectively oppose.  You can never be sure when those with the power will turn on YOU.

This forearm is barely moderated. I can count on one hand the number of posters who were perma banned in my 20 years here.

GC is definitely an echo chamber.

The fact that you don't think there is an echo chamber here is comical. It just swings in the favor you want it to

 Maybe it just swings the opposite of what you want it to.

I don't care if people agree with me or not on things. Just pointing out that there is an echo chamber here on the forum. It is wildly conservative.

"moderated" = censored.

God bless a place where people can have frank conversations.  I appreciate that folks such as yourself stay with it and bring alternative view points. This place would be much less without you.

Every other board in the internet universe is so liberal that anything else compares conservative.   They generally don't ban or censor here, so really every other board might be like this one, if not for liberal crybabies.

I don’t go to FBG so I don’t know whether they’re moderating vs. censoring.

Again- "censoring" or "banning" is not indicative of an echo chamber not existing. At the very least you would have to admit the far right conservative voice here is very amplified.

The conservative voice here appears to be strong only because they are censored just about everywhere else.  I don't know how I can be any clearer.

It is an echo chamber here.  A natural one.  

Footballgays is an echo chamber.  A synthetic one.  

And that is pretty spot on with left vs right ideology.  A lefty forearm welcomes timeouts and bannings.  Encourages people to tell moderators about anything they find offensive.    A righty forearm welcomes anyone to participate and say what they want.

Oh boy - They are going to release the hordes on him now.    You can't say this:

Speaking with Coleman Hughes on his podcast, Rogan emphasized that Biden is “basically a shell, you know, cognitively. And the fact that that took a long time for people to admit, that was one of the things that people were saying that I was a Trump supporter during the election because I said I would vote for Trump before I would vote for Biden.”

“But I didn’t vote for either,” Rogan continued, adding “The reason why I said that was like, ‘You don’t see this? Are you guys out of your mind? You guys don’t see that this guy can’t, he can’t talk right anymore?’”

“Go watch videos of him from twenty years ago,” Rogan urged, explaining “He was a dummy, he said a lot of silly , he lied about a bunch of things, but at least he was articulate.”

“I think there’s people who don’t value truth, they don’t value honesty, I think they just want to win,” Rogan mused.
