I've also been a sometime poster at NZI & they have a large number of misogynists, racists, anti vaxxers & hard right posters, to the extent that discussion is quite difficult.
There are a handful of reasonable right posters but they're outnumbered.
I can understand your anger a bit better now, Magoo; you have good cause to be so anti & outspoken.
I disagree though that attacking them is helping your cause; insulting them is just likely to get their backs up & make them far less likely to listen to what you're saying.
What you really want is presumably, to get them to listen to another view - one which is more balanced & reasonable. I think in order to get them to at least listen, approaching them in a calm & reasonable way might be worth a try.

in order to be old & wise, you must first be young & stupid. (I'm still working on that.)
