That’s exactly how I feel sometimes. And you can replace right wing extremist with misogynist, it still works.
The “extremist” part of Right wing “extremist” is meaningless. All reactionary politics are extreme, whether they take the active form of stochastic terror or they take the passive form of
social murder(as defined by Engels in 1845, see below). The plausible deniability employed by reactionaries as camouflage among jokes is extremely transparent to anyone familiar enough with it.
Just check their comment history for like 30 seconds. Everyone makes a joke that misses the mark every now and then, but the shittiest people usually constantly spew their nonsense.
Shitposters are definitely not innocent.
I would also replace it with trolls because comments in that territory are consistently on or over the line.
The shit posters drive a wedge in a community and the people who don’t like the “innocent” jokes leave. This makes fertile ground for ideological take over. Rinse and repeat in Fandoms, subreddits, message boards, etc.

Alternatively, the people who are so brittle that shit-posting causes them to somehow turn on half of the community were always going to volatile puritans.
What? Maybe some people join communities for fun and togetherness. Not amateur hour jew jokes or whatever.
I agree. But the discussion was shit-posting, not racist jokes, or am I missing something?
