The problem with that was the idealistic assumption that trolls surely didn't believe in what they were saying.
"Ironic" nazis used "trolling" as a pretense to push nazi propaganda for a long time. :heated-gamer-moment:
Oh yeah absolutely. I actually think it was potentially some sort of op that failed because it got banned, I say that because the level of effort and investment from the team running it was absurdly high, higher than I think I've ever seen from volunteer teams. But it was also extremely funny. I vividly remember one of the most effective trolls on the entire site at the time was to pretend to be a cyclist and literally say anything negative at all about cars or the difficulty of riding in america and people would go absolutely apeshit about how cyclists were the devil and deserved to be murdered by their metal death machines.
