I never said that everywhere needs to be 4chan, I honestly hope nowhere becomes something similar to it, but this is beside the point entirely. The web has indeed become mainstream and I'd agree that to some extent what I tried to describe is a direct result of that. Maybe I was wrong to call it "discuss contrarian opinions", when the more unnerving part to me is simply the fact that ones intentions & opinions can be expected to be taken out of context and misrepresented as much as possible to generate the highest effect for others. This effect can be something like the "triumph" of pushing someone to change their behaviour or even their work, or even more sinister to change the life circumstances of someone for not conforming to their value system. I don't want to wake up in 20 years and have an angry mob call my employer because I have made the mistake of injecting my value system that is 40 years old and fallen out of favor in something that is publicly available and attributable to me.
