It's more about how we should always be weary of extreme examples which can set precedence with regrettable repercussions. If I had proposed as a thought experiment, a hypothetical "proto-fascist social media site that facilitated a failed insurrection based on outlandish conspiracies and disinformation" to argue something, most would claim it's an absurd outlier and shouldn't be used because it's not generally representative. But here we are. That's the risk. Arguments that normally would be summarily dismissed will be taken as legitimate. This is also exactly the window of time where otherwise unacceptable laws will be accepted (like the AUMF after 9/11) It's potentially a dangerous time with long lasting effects that will be hard to claw back and we should tread lightly and carefully knowing these tendencies. We still haven't been able to spin down the military expansionism from 80 years ago after pearl harbor for instance. These systems can take on a life of their own and become really hard to undo. Careful careful.
