This is a great point. I've been thinking about the problem exogenously- as a group of racists (/etc.) out there that we as the internet have to deal with. (People are still getting convinced of racism?)
It definitely becomes a balancing act, then, of whether the flow is more towards normalizing radicals or radicalizing normals. I'd hope it's more the former, and actually spez's NFWC category might help with that- since you'd have to manually opt-in to the cesspit, sort of like turning on HN's showdead.
And maybe because it's easier to stumble on it's easier to get out- once someone's hooked into Stormfront they're probably irretrievable; every aspect of their forum experience will be framed by that fact. Whereas on reddit they might have 10 cat subreddits diluting that content, it's just a matter of getting them to click that "unsubscribe" button once.
