The Neoliberal Echo Chamber

Boy does this article hit the nail on the head. All the Hillarybots on this forum need to read this and take it to heart, because the author is talking about you? This forum is an Echo Chamber extraordinaire.

...........the neoliberals are unquestionably the worst. No other political group arbitrarily labels those who disagree with its ideology as fascists and Nazis, and then refuses to listen to anything they say because “I’ll be damned if I’ll sit and listen to a bunch of fascists and Nazis.” No other political group dismisses any news media outside of its preferred echo chamber as “fake news”. No other political group is still trying to claim that WikiLeaks did something wrong by sharing the truth with the American people. No other political group scoffs at and dismisses any story that they haven’t seen discussed inside their own personal echo chamber. No other political group resorts to bullying and ad hominem attacks to anywhere near the extent that Clinton liberals do.

It is only the neoliberals, the Democratic party loyalists that are doing these things. But since they’re a massive group right smack in the middle of the political spectrum, with the Republicans and Libertarians on the right and the Berners, Greens, so************************ts and progressives on the left, it’s putting a massive wobble on political dialogue all across the board. Sick of being abused and bullied by Clinton Democrats, many leftists have just stopped talking to anyone outside their circle, except maybe to the deplorables, who at least treat them kindly. Sick of being told that they’re racists, fascists and Nazis, people who supported Donald Trump for president have done the same, pulling away into their own segregated circles while trying to avoid the onslaught of attacks, fearmongering and censorship. And right there in between is the political group that’s causing it all, happily feeling righteous and validated in their little echo chambers while laughing away at the latest episode of The Daily Show.

And if the GOP lost the electoral vote, the exact same thing would have been written about the Right-Wing echo chamber. The only real difference is that Russia was an active participant in the Right Wing echo chamber.

Great article!

Just check the immediate ad hominem if you simply indicate the immigration play on our southern border.

Mention Breedlove's shenanigans or the burning of people in Odessa and the those in the echo chamber look lost.

From the linked article:

It's becoming more and more acceptable in liberal circles to ignore all information that doesn't validate one's ideology, and it's making us all stupid.
Now we know why Hillary was the only candidate the DNC hoisted, they were hell bent on a female candidate and fell for the Clinton name ignoring the cesspool around her.

One little thing--your Hillary hobby-horse aside, do you really think this criticism applies to liberal folks these days, but NOT to conservatives as well?

I think I can cite very convincing evidence that the conservative echo chamber is very sturdy and air-tight.

Agreed except for this election cycle, the Republican Party was run over Trump and his 'Deplorables' and won. The Democrats OTOH ignored the warnings and ostracized anyone that would not kneel at the altar of Hillay, had to cheat to get her nominated, so they stayed home.

And your term Hillary hobby-horse proves my point.
