Right, and I don't know how we deal with an echo chamber at its root, as opposed to waving facts in it. I'm not sure what anyone recommends as a mean of breaking through echo chambers, other that people from outside it trying to penetrate it, and thereby make a chamber more open like this one is to all views. And I don't know that this works either. Can "trust" be rebuilt within a society of echo chambers? That would be nice, if it were possible.
That's why I tend to think the only way out is to fight it out. Hopefully through elections, since politics is war made more civilized. But that has been the history of 4Ts.
