> The far right and the far left are so overrepresented in the media and online discourse

I don't think so, no. Not on mainstream forums. They certainly have a lot of their own special forums, but on Reddit, and Facebook, and HackerNews, I find that most commenters are pretty much who you'd expect - random, middle of the road people.

> it's necessary to distance yourself or be assumed one of them

Have you considered the possibility that you only think these people are overrepresented because you assume anybody without a disclaimer is one of them?

It's more like anyone who doesn't leave a disclaimer (and some of those who do) have angry partisans jump down their throats.
