This comment is a great example of something produced by an online bubble. I'm sure if you talked like this in real life most people on your street would have no idea what you're talking about, because you're referencing niche ideas from niche internet subcommunities. It's a problem because it alienates you from your irl community

This seems spot on. I couldn’t tell what they were talking about, except the part at the end about gun control, which I disagreed with. Plenty of democrats own and like guns.

I'm sure if you talked like this in real life most people on your street would have no idea what you're talking about, because you're referencing niche ideas from niche internet subcommunities. Im in an online bubble because im talking about a niche idea? What if I start talking about Django ModelAdmin templates? That would be quite niche. I bet there's only 5 other people in my city who could have that conversation with me. Point Im making is that yes it's quite niche and quite the bubble. I never denied the bubbles exist. I explicitly said everyone lives in a bubble and there's nothing wrong with it. The important reality is the rest of the subject. We aren't in culture wars anymore.

It's also not like this is only subject I know about. Im not getting alienated.
