I think it's more something like if you don't confront bigotry it'll grow and eventually crush you.

Yeah, my first thought was that it’s a reference to how facism has grown by allowing people to discuss it in anonymous echo chambers.

The irony of this being said on lemmy is pretty special

You're here. A fascist from a fascist server, interacting with the rest of us, how the fuck is this therefore an echo chamber?

Just because your dumb takes aren't tolerated by the majority of Lemmy users doesn't mean it's an echo chamber.

In the context of news media and social media, an echo chamber is an environment or ecosystem in which participants encounter beliefs that amplify or reinforce their preexisting beliefs by communication and repetition inside a closed system and insulated from rebuttal.[2][3][4] The echo chambers function by circulating existing views without encountering opposing views, potentially leading to three cognitive biases

Ah, OK I see that. I thought it also looked a bit like it would apply to the downward slope of social media and polarization of everyone into hate-filled groups where "no one is wrong."

Thanks for explaining your perspective!
