I'm going to be honest, I find the echo chamber stifling and it's also equally terrifying to step outside of it to see what lurks on the other side because of the vitriol thrown your way by the other occupants of the chamber. I consider myself a progressive/liberal person but recently had a spat with another liberal friend over my opinion on Dave Chappelle's recent Netflix special. I really enjoyed it. I thought it was funny, albeit not as good as past specials that I've seen. I also don't believe in comedy policing, even when I don't agree with the comic's opinion. She was an active member of the Twitter storm calling for his cancellation. I disagreed with her opinion and haven't heard from her since. Now, I'm wondering whether or not that's a blessing in disguise.
