> My so-called "bubble" includes dozens of uniquely massive metros that represent hundreds of millions of people.
This can also describe the entirety of hard-left twitter, which yes, definitely is a filter bubble and an echo chamber, which has nothing to do with geographic distribution, but everything to do with groupthink, high internal conformity, and not being receptive to foreign ideas.
> Can you name a couple historic movements that had the goal of expanding rights or ending oppression that you, today, would oppose?
Are you implying there would be a shortage of those? In the US:
- Gun rights as they are
- Antivax
- Pro-life movement
- Unrestricted freedom of speech
- Certain special religious rights (regarding exemptions from various taxes / rules / etc.)
- "Free markets" in specific fields like healthcare
- Largely unrestricted rights to political donations
- etc.
Each of those has many, many millions of passionate defenders. These are legitimate civil rights issues / movements, even if you disagree with them.
Something being a "civil rights movement" does not automatically make it right, even if historically that was more often the case than not.
Even communism could be described as a civil rights movement, if it won and discredited capitalism. It is described that way in countries where it won.
Both pro-life and pro-choice can be correctly described as civil rights movements – rights of the mother vs rights of the fetus. I'm not pro-life, but I am able to engage with other people's opinions without labeling them racists / bigots / etc. and excluding them from my life, because I can be wrong, and I wouldn't see it otherwise.
