LOL neither the media nor Russia created tribalism or echo chambers. They’re just the digital equivalent of immigrants creating ethnic neighborhoods. People are more comfortable around others who speak their language and share their background. Give them all the variety in the world and most of them will flock to their own kind.
But I totally agree America is the United States of Ignorance and won’t recover from it. Not just ignorance but incapability - in spite of a flourishing DIY culture, Americans in general can’t DIY their way out of a WalMart. They don’t even think up to them to solve anything, because every problem is either somebody else’s direct fault or was inevitable because of conditions somebody else created. It’s a nation of spectators whining that all the shows suck.
