This is true ofc! But also, it’s becoming a really common propaganda technique to just say “OH you live in an echo chamber“ because it forces the other person to stop arguing with your position and defend themselves against charges of being a Bad Person

The American Medical Association directly responds to New York Times coverage mischaracterizing their posiiton on gender affirming care for trans young people. cloud.e.ama-assn.org/newsletter?u...
In recent days, AMA communications to the New York Times have requested a correction on their part to reflect the actual language the AMA used in response to their inquiry. Additionally, a letter to the editor has been submitted requesting a public correction—this was neither a policy change nor was it an endorsement of a position taken by another medical society. In addition, during Congressional testimony in mid-March, I had the opportunity to set the record straight stating to the Subcommittee on Health of the House Energy and Commerce Committee that there has been no change in AMA policy with respect to access to and provision of gender-affirming care. This will appear in the Congressional Record.

Last month the NYT said AOC "struggled" to give an answer on Taiwan and quoted her with "uhs" and "ums" to make her look stupid Yesterday talking about Hormuz Trump claimed he's heard from "numerous countries" and said "uh" four times. The NYT deleted the "uhs" and paraphrased him to look smarter:
NYT on Feb. 13, 2026:

The visit also demonstrated the relative foreign policy inexperience of Ms. Ocasio-Cortez, who has made a few overseas trips since taking office but does not sit on any House committees devoted primarily to world affairs. She struggled at times to formulate succinct answers at a nighttime panel session, during which she was asked probing and specific questions about how to respond to international crises.

Questioned about whether the United States should send troops to defend Taiwan if China invaded the island, she stalled for roughly 20 seconds before offering a substantive response.

“I think that, uh, this is such a, a — you know, I think that — this is a, um — this is of course, a, uh, a very longstanding, um, policy of the United States,” Ms. Ocasio-Cortez said, before saying that the country should try to avoid reaching that point with China in the first place.NYT on March 16, 2026:

On Monday, Mr. Trump claimed that “numerous countries have told me they’re on the way,” noting that President Emmanuel Macron of France would most likely help in the Strait of Hormuz and was an eight out of 10. “Not perfect, but it’s France,” he said.

Others are not demonstrating sufficient enthusiasm for his demands, he said.

From a friend in Beirut this morning, who in the last few days has seen several Israel missile strikes within walking distance of their home.
it just feels so horrible
we feel powerless
we've tried fighting, 
we've tried surrendering
we've tried ignoring
we've tried building
israel doesn't let you exist
that's it, our choice is fast death

So much of our Discourse seems propped up by “psychology accusations“ in which the operative theory people are employing to understand the world relies on a mental state that the theorizer doesn’t share, but needs their opponents to have for the theory to hang together

I think liberals are going to have to reckon with the fact that you can’t replace child molester billionaires with “good“ billionaires. This wasn’t a network of otherwise unrelated pedophiles taking the world. Our system was only winnable by monsters, or created monsters.

If 26 Americans or Israelis or Germans were murdered today, it would be the top headline on every network. They keep telling you “the war is over” while this happens, because their idea of a peaceful, “normal” order is one where Israel gets to mass murder Palestinians at will.

Incredible to me how many mainstream democrats have talked themselves into the position that the growing chorus of voices criticizing their choices as enabling fascism are both worthy of sneering condescension and also not real, thereby proving that they’re the best choices

The biggest risk in this moment is something sociologists call “symbolic compliance.” That’s when an institution that is violating civil rights gives the public just enough symbolic victories that accountability efforts lose steam before there has been any meaningful change.

That’s what that one guy said about Elon, he loves humanity but doesn’t love human beings. What’s the fuckin difference man? Human life isn’t an abstraction from the thing you claim to love, it’s the thing itself. If you harm Americans you hate America, if you harm humans you hate humanity.

There's also been a shift in character in activism. In Trump's first term, the big actions were symbolic protests designed to make a narrative impact. In Trump's second term, we are seeing actions designed to practically frustrate an authoritarian crackdown on civil liberties.
