I thought everyone was already in their own echo chamber? That quote seems to think we've yet to fragment. We're post-fragmentation.
And perhaps broaden their scope: white racists / anti-racists, proud boys / antifa, socialists / libertarians, yes mask / no mask, Biden won / Trump won, feminist / trans-rights, science is conclusive / science is a process. Everyone has their niche with it's own unhealthy tilt on the truth. All of them preaching to the choir, failing at every step to convince the other side of their shitty, adopted stance.
It's not that one side has bad ideas and if we fix them all will be good and we'll all think the same. It's the inability to accept someone has an opposing idea. Dispatch them quickly and lazily: "Oh, they're just a conspiracy theory nut.", "Oh, they're just racist.", "They're on the wrong side of history."
