John Spartan: “I don’t know…thanks?”
— Demolition Man
“Right wing builds its own echo chamber,” warns the headline from a short piece in Axios about conservatives creating their own media outlets and other institutions like publishers and cryptocurrencies and social networks. The headline is a play on a trope of the Big Tech age (provided you believe Axios is capable of such self-awareness).
“Build your own BLANK” is a meme that lampoons the argument from the left (and libertarians who want to preserve maximum latitude for corporations) that conservatives have no real recourse when they are not afforded equal treatment in today’s increasingly tech overlord-driven world. Private corporations, after all, aren’t beholden to your rights.
