Hurricane Irma Was Fake...

Found Rush to be fairly hilarious myself.

"This hurricane is a conspiracy" followed shortly by "and now I'm evacuating".

He encouraged his listeners to believe the hurricane was fake. That it wasn't a threat. He then fled to safety without warning any of his listeners.

Also this is politics not general.

If the hurricanes are real - climate change is real. If climate change is real, science is real. If science is real then evolution is real. Etc, etc, etc.

Basically science  threatens those who only have belief to cling to. It scares them.

I think the age of the internet has led to people seeking out like minded mentalities to create echo chambers. If you're 1 in a 100 saying something, you may start to question your rationale. If you're the majority in a group it reinforces the view. Essentially there are hundreds or thousands of realities people in the world inhabit that makes cross discussion nearly impossible.

So Nymeria would you acknowledge the possibility that the charts is one such echo chamber? Look at Bandorr's post, he throws out a potentially false equivalency and after 50 more posts is challenged by no one ... This thread is a little on the boring side so I had to find something to "disagree"  with  / call out.  Now that I think about it more vocal members are (American) left leaning on this site with a very sparse representation of the American right which would help to fit in the echo chamber categorization.  What do you think especially as one of those I would likely label as American Left Leaning?
