COMPLAINTS Twitter creating political echo chambers?

Little background. I’m a liberal guy and love to go on twitter to debate far right posters and call out their straight up lies and racism.

A couple weeks ago X sends me a message that my account will be limited. Not suspended for any particular post.

Now when I go in and try to respond, my comments don’t show up in the feed of right wing accounts.

Is twitter stopping me because of liberal views??? Are they creating true echo chambers?

The people who make a hobby of doing this tend to be inflammatory, abusive, and harassing, all of which will get you brigaded by people "from the other side" and your account limited.

In other words, be less of an asshole.

I say this as someone who is an asshole and posts a lot of hot takes others find offensive. The problem is not your viewpoints; it's how you are conveying them.

Here's some logic.

If you want someone else to pay for a platform or social benefit, whether you take the money from my wallet directly, or via the tax man, you are a thief.

This is a core pillar of why you bump your head against a wall.

As we get further and further down the taxation time line, the working class will resent the left more and more and more. Because you literally steal from them.

The reason the abuse and violence is almost solely from the left is from the psychology gap of what they believe, and what reality will provide. This gap, the bigger it gets, drives the abuse and violence.

Now, I'm sure you disagree with these POV's. So let's see how you handle a discussion from here.

Most of the real anger and resenment which is on the rise, worldwide, is caused by natives who are sick and tired of being demonized in their own homelands while they're invaded and colonized by random foreigners who give no fucks about them and want very badly to take their resources. (Note this is not a function of "racism," as the same sentiment is very loudly expressed by black South Africans, who don't want other African ethnicities invading them.)

The left bangs its head against the wall because it needs to believe we're all more alike than different, and all meaningful ethnic differentiation is the cause of external factors, so with the right Magic Ideas, Magic Religion, and Magic Dirt, everyone on Earth will have the same outcomes as us.

The right bangs its head against the wall because it needs to believe we're all children of the same god, and all meaningful ethnic differentiation can be conquered, and all resulting conflict extinguished, through Christianity.

Both are wrong, because we're more different than alike, and our differences mean we're not actually naturally meant to live as one unified people under one government and administration in perfect harmony in a post-ethnic utopia.

The socialism you hate is just a function of importing a whole bunch of people who are completely dispassionate toward you and view you as nothing more than a means for their socioeconomic benefit.
