What it reminds me of is this scene towards the end of Napoleon Dynamite. Napoleon's friend Pedro was running for student body president for entirely wholesome reasons, and Napoleon danced his heart out following a campaign speech at a school assembly. This whole time, there's a guy that represents the establishment at the school making this face, and he continues to make this face all the way through the performance and even after Napoleon gets a standing ovation. That's about the level of regard some people give opposing ideas, or even just new ones.

We should avoid doing this ourselves - putting up 'cringe' without presenting comment. It doesn't really reinforce ideas to put opposition up like a freakshow, it just helps us feel right, and it can work against us if people on the fence don't immediately see what is wrong with, for example, a fascist's argument cropped from Facebook.

Check the upload history for anyone you download something from, don't just go with whatever has the most seeds, and consider opening that shit up in a VM first to make sure it's legit.
