> For the 'lulz' of course.
So how does one distinguish between a genuine kill-all-the-scum Nazi, and a child who's pretending to be one, for the lulz? You get lulz from people who get upset. And you get lulz from people who agree with you. It's a win-win.
Ultimately, there's no way to tell. It's a textbook example of Poe's Law. And indeed, there's no observable difference. Maybe everyone behind Nazi sites are in it for the lulz. And/or for the money, or fame. You get the same fucked up social impacts, either way.
When they start dressing the part, take part in torch carrying marches shouting slogans about mass murder.
Maybe. But many of them could still be in it for the lulz.
I mean, many gangbangers are fundamentally after lulz.
That doesn't mean it is something we need to either encourage or condone.
