You're a troll if you're playing devils advocate? I'm thinking they need some re-calibration.

>It seems like people who post on r/unpopularopinion are all trolls. How do you moderate that?

"all trolls" it seems to me their definition of a troll is rather vague and broad?

>In the early 2000s, if I saw that, I would think, oh, that person’s trolling, they don’t genuinely mean they want to deport immigrants. But now, I do think there are some people who genuinely mean that.

9/11 happened in 2001. There wasnt anyone genuinely talking about deporting immigrants? Anti-muslim sentiment was pretty high is how i remember it.

George W Bush had multiple big programs to send illegal immigrants home.

lol what a terrible article.
