It’s like everyone knows they are in an echo chamber but not daring to be the first one to speak up.
- photik 9y agoThat entirely depends on the arena in which one finds oneself. In far-left circles women and minorities tend to be given carte blanche, while in far-right circles older white men receive similar treatment. It is a spectrum of acceptable norms based on implicit values surrounding group identities. e.g. if a white man offers a controversial opinion in a left-leaning arena, he is more likely to be dismissed.
- calvinbhai 9y agoAgreed. As a brown guy (I think right of Center) my views tend to piss off the far right/left equally. And I think there are many like me who are just keeping their mouth shut listening to garbage from both the far ends.
