They made their presence known. Thats valuable in and of itself. If people disagree with them and they are the minority, other commenters can then throw incendiary feedback at them. Others can then watch the debate and learn how to take apart these toxic rascists using nothing but words.

Ignorance is bliss, I'll give you that much. Most take the blue pill for a good reason.

- shadowgovt 5y agoIt's probably worth noting that arguments on the Internet don't show majority and minority opinion. If anything, they might proxy to the opinions espoused by those with the most free time to argue on the Internet. It is, hypothetically, possible that one will find fringe opinions there more often because those on the fringe tend to be detached from other uses of time (i.e. if you're unemployed, you have a lot of time to argue with strangers online, for example).
