That sounds like a baseless assumption. On what data do you come to that conclusion? I heard people express the same nonsense during the Bush years and it was just as absurd then. If anything it’s crazy people cutting themselves off.
- cozuya 6y agoI mean there's countless anecdotes, which is not good data, but its something. Many, many people (many people are saying..) have noted how crazily divided we have been in the past 5 years. And my above comment got a bunch of upvotes in the last hour so there's more anecdotal evidence I guess.
- austincheney 6y agoIf it’s on social media then it has to be true. Logical fallacies don’t increase in validity merely because an echo chamber grows or else everything mentioned in r/thedonald could never be a lie. A small collection of keyboard warriors see division because they want to. Without something to ground their baseless opinions they becomes just as absurd as they appear outside their echo chamber. Coincidentally my same opinion is also well upvoted in a different thread. That doesn’t make it more of anything. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25018920 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25018920
