    Those people purposefully bait confrontation. They go to where they know they are of the unpopular opinion, and loudly and obnoxiously escalate their bigotry until there’s confrontation.

    Test this by calmly approaching them and asking what they feel they will accomplish with this- and see how quickly one of the “onlookers” whips out a recording device.

      I think its probably just refusing to be quiet about their opinions. That comes off as being confrontative, simply because they dont self censor themselves around people they know will be upset.

      Its simular to here on Lemmy when people get called trolls for stating an unpopular opinion. They just dont self censor.
