Well, not only those, but something in the general direction of “all men are bad and should be punished”.

Statistics, mainly, in any large enough group there are 10-20% idiots/extremists/trolls. Sometimes more, sometimes less, depends really on the group/topic. Sadly they’re usually also the loudest group further feeding the illusion that they’re the majority.
