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.Ā You can never be sure when those with the power will turn on YOU.Ā Ā Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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.Ā Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Masshole 642 Posted February 24, 2022 Oh boy - They are going to release the hordes on him now.Ā Ā You can't say this: Speaking with Coleman Hughes on his podcast, Rogan emphasizedĀ that Biden is ābasically 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.ā āBut I didnāt vote for either,ā Rogan continued, adding āThe reason why I said that was like, āYou donāt see this? Are you guys out of your mind? You guys donāt see that this guy canāt, he canāt talk right anymore?āā āGo watch videos of him from twenty years ago,ā Rogan urged, explaining āHe was a dummy, he said a lot of silly , he lied about a bunch of things, but at least he was articulate.ā āI think thereās people who donāt value truth, they donāt value honesty, I think they just want to win,ā Rogan mused. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
