Does anyone do it here? For example: you are a lefty but you still follow alt-righters / neocons / ancaps to see what their foolish ideas are about, or vice versa you are a rightwinger but hate-watch / hate-follow SJWs.

Or do you guys all live in online echo chambers?

I constantly check @RichardSpencers twitter feed or Voice of Europe even though I’m a lefty

I detest both the far-right and the far-left of the West to be honest, but both have very interesting arguments. The liberals/corporatists/centrists are so boring in comparison.

Not necessarily. I don't have a political stance that is set in stone but I do spend a lot of time on primarily right-wing imageboards. It just happens to attract that kind of people so naturally I am exposed to their opinions daily. So, kind of?

He mostly watches Fox and gets filtered news updates from pro-Trump sources. He lives in an echo chamber.
What so funny is he is a president he can get the least bais news and is supposed to know before anyone else. But he is anyways Autistic anyways.

I dabble into far right Twitter from time to time. Free entertainment. :manny:

I wouldn't consider myself a lefty though, more center-right socially, and center-left economically.
 
I hate-watched alt right videos and browsed alt-right twitter accounts and found myself agreeing with many things they said :damn:
I just stick to lefty twitter now.

A few months ago I began agreeing with David Dukes posts on twitter, I even liked one about Israel .

In context of politics I browse and post a lot on a right-wing board on a sport's forum. I don't know why, since they're mostly white American males in their late 20's to late 30's. Most of them live in rural areas of red states and are honestly dumb as f*ck

I also follow a few anti-Black men Black feminists on twitter. I don't know why. I don't have beef with feminism :ohno: but the amount of cognitive dissonance in the extreme parts of shea butter twitter is fascinating

I used to years ago follow Robert Spencer, Daniel Pipes and others but then I realised they were on the losing side of history and I stopped caring.
 
I follow both the far-right and the far-left just to see how the extreme ends of the spectrum look. I don't follow politics as much as I used to.

Some news outlets for politics I watch sometimes:

Caspian Report, China Uncensored, and Russia Today.

The reason is, because I feel that economics is much more important than politics. And whoever controls the economy: the banks, manufacturing, logistics, key services etc are the people that actually shape policy in the country and the politicians become their bootyclappers.

Recently, I've been watching and reading economic related things. Such as this channel:

Been looking at every countries exports. Reallly insightful when you look into it. It shows which countries have primitive economies, and which are diverse.

Eritrea for example is one of the worst I have seen. There whole country relies on exporting copper ore. They export more than they import though, so they don't have debt.

Somalia's is pretty weak too. They mostly export animal products, but they import waaaay more than they export. The debt is very large.

China, woow. They export almost everything, like a jack of all trades. They also export way more than they import.
