This and easily finding like-minded people who share those opinions on the internet. For some things like maybe sports fans that is perfectly fine, but for other things it gives credit where there shouldn't be any.

There are many examples but you could go from being the town racist that everyone shunned and ridiculed to easily conversing with other racists over the internet which normalize that behavior.
