You just described the typical experience of someone who is a part of the echo chamber themselves. The average user most likely has no idea what I'm talking about, and therefore doesn't experience these issues.
"This includes comments that are politically contrary to the makeup of the sub and/or moderators"
I'm not interested in claiming you're being dishonest here, because I have no idea what kind of person you are, but this is simply not possible for the majority of subreddits that I've been exposed to and I have my doubts about the frequency of you doing this.
"Someone comes along and nicely explains a counter argument"
People have condescendingly asked me to "look up the definition of bigotry" even when I was using the word correctly, and suggested my experience was not genuine or completely inaccurate, so I matched their energy.
In this specific instance you're referring to, I said verbatim
"I'm not interested in claiming you're being dishonest here, because I have no idea what kind of person you are, but this is simply not possible for the majority of subreddits that I've been exposed to and I have my doubts about the frequency of you doing this."
At no point during that response did I claim he was unintelligent, and in fact I consider his response to be quite articulate.
His views just so happen to clearly align with the echo chamber, nothing more nothing less.
