Do people actually give these things merit on 4chan, or is it just a joke/dog whistle? I mean, it's sort of funny seeing someone go down the most braindead "critical thinking" episode I've ever seen, but there's no way anyone goes, "Holy.... shit... he's so right!" and mean it seriously. I refuse to believe people are literally that stupid.... But that could be on me, I guess.

For some these "jokes" are ways to test the water. How will the community and mods/admins react? It can also be a way to find other radicalised people.

There are plenty of mentally ill people out there who will take things like that seriously. It's the kind of people who will calculate the day the world ends from clues in the bible.
