A great way to counteract echo chambers is to create your own lmao. Consider the fact that you've been in a bubble of western propaganda for your entire life - You might be the one in the echo chamber! Oh no!
Most users on hexbear are westerners, we see the same bullshit news stories peddled like you do. We've just got a memory that's slightly longer than that of the average goldfish (which is significantly longer than that of the average lib) so we can for example remember how the same media that is now writing about Ukraine, The Glorious Bastion Of Democracy, wrote about Ukraine The Corrupt Hellhole Where Donald Trump Did Bad Stuff.
We're also equipped with fingers, hands, arms and eyes, which allows us to look up claims made by the media online, and verify the validity of these claims. So when we read "Russian Soldiers have never seen asphalt before coming to Ukraine" we're able to do the most basic of Google searches like "Does Russia have asphalt", instead of just unquestioningly ingesting the statement. Sometimes we might have to search for more complicated stuff though, it's tricky reading words in the beginning, but you sorta get the hang of it over time.
These two superpowers mean that when we encounter the same stories as you do - which we do daily - we're able to look into them. This ability has made us distrusting of the claims made by western media about the war, because they have been shown to often lie in order to further the agenda of the United States, and the bourgeois pigs that control the country.
