    Well yeah, but we don't choose shit. We generally follow the path of least resistance which is how we fall into pipelines. But we can also take advantage of same sort of techniques that social media companies are using to create these echo chambers. I've talked about this before, but for years I was running thousands of random facebook pages that would gradually introduce subversive concepts congruent within the pages' themes. And that was a very basic, "dumb" way of doing it. People are putting their entire life online and companies are using that data to manipulate their behavior, part of the fight needs to be organize and use that data in a manner that undermines those pipelines in a way that frees people.
