Don't know why, it's a very sensible post to me. I'm not sure echo chambers are bad - I like the "warrens and plazas" idea. If ideas really are a market - or more relevantly, policy is a market - we'd never buy anything if we only had half-baked prototypes to choose from. That said, twitter really makes me appreciate traditional politics. Party states in their manifesto they value x, y, z Party representative does something that is consistent, or not, with that (individuals get to decide this, even if the media get to present "an angle"). Some "undesirable group" (Neo-nazis, tankies, etc) may vote for that party, but they don't control the message. Or if they do, the party leader has failed. Twitter politics, by contrast, is built on the fundamental attribution error. If you don't take the most charitable interpretation of my side, and the worst interpretation of theirs, you're my enemy.
