   Still better than physical violence.

      @mangeurdenuage @moonman @awg I think filter bubbles yield attitudes in people that don't know how to agree to disagree.  Agreeing to disagree, and coexisting while disagreeing, to me, is what tolerance is.
      
      Their filter-bubbles make them intolerant to the point when being on the same platform (because familial ties) makes it a shitshow.  Something to disagree with is something to dogpile on, and in their experience within the bubble, dogpiling is a working and appealing strategy.
      
      I fear that this will increasingly result in physical violence, because again, the filter bubble.
      Their experience in the bubble online will not square with the views they encounter IRL. 
      
      Which is right?  Well the bubble online is comforting and confirms their bias, so they take that blue pill.  Those people IRL?  Monsters.
      
      That's why the Trump movement was shocking and disturbing to them, their bubble told them those people didn't exist.  So it must have been Russia.
