Stephen Crowder is often an ass, but occasionally he’s funny, but sometimes he does stories like this which hit right at the heart of the issue.
In this video, he points out how when platforms like Twitter increase their free speech by allowing a wider diversity of opinions. The left backed off and started criticizing it as right wing echo chamber. The problem if it ever became an echo chamber is directly because of the fact that people on the left started abandoning it.
The left couldn’t handle that there was a platform that allowed everybody to share their opinions equally. Nobody ever said that Democrat couldn’t post there, in fact, the platform was made as a place for everybody could share their opinions no matter what. Instead, the left created platforms like bluesky where diversity of opinion is pretty much stifled. Try being a right winger on that platform and going there and posting something and you’ll be shouted down vigorously by the left, and very possibly booted from the platform.
The left can’t tolerate any space that it can’t control so rather than participating in an open platform they move themselves to their own special corner, where they don’t allow anybody else in that proves that it’s actually the right has more diversity of thought and speech
