That is a lot of thinking. It's interesting you mentioned echo chamber then go on to describe an echo chamber. Nobody on any subreddit lemmy nor community all have the same thoughts and feelings.

So there shouldn't be a single idea. That's not a good thing. For humanity to work, discourse is required.

Single ideologies that are narrow and never wavering are pretty bad news.

See example Nazi Germany.

Exactly, there is nothing wrong with your opinion or stance, i am raising awareness to a particularly subgroup of people that needed it. Cause i saw signals that they where around.

I kinda wish there was a way to comment without Having to bother you in the process.

Rereading the chain i should have worded it better to not sound so assuming that you where present at “yesterday’s meme rally” . Bias on my part. Excuzedmoi

I cant see the up/downvote ratio but i still expect many people here are hypocrites.

What signs ? I don't mind being bothered. Why I wanted clarification. I am/ was under the impression it's an internet forum and there's no mob mentality.

I think you are potentially overthinking a comment on a meme bit who knows.

Enjoy the rest of your day.

The statistical majority appeared to hold an opinion of "Republicans are evil because they only care when issues affect them" otherwise the meme wouldn't have gotten so big. Yet the ratio on your comment tells a completely different story. I find it hard to comprehend unless bias.

I have an autistic tendency to observe intense patterns from very small details and i am math nerd. I am almost certainly partly overthinking it.

Thanks for having patience, have a nice day aswell.

I had a niggly feeling that you may have a brain that was analyzing for a pattern. Makes sense.

I'm sure there are plenty of anomalies within the community. And as you previously pointed out there will be a lot of hypocrites.

Much easier to flip flop online than it is the real world. Nobody to call you out. I think there are a whole heap of variables that aren't captured when viewing things online.

People do not act "typical" Therefore a lot of research is flawed because it expects a degree of normalcy that is skewed when viewed online.

That's just my thoughts on the matter. I am not a math nerd but background in psychology and behavioral job currently
