I've had a similar thought about really extreme "social justice warrior" stuff: I've seen it as a kind of unintentional troll that has worked to surface all the racism latent in the culture.
Yes, I do think a good number if "pomo" types and really extreme SJWs are nuts. No, there is nothing these people could say or do that would cause me to embrace Hitlerism, neo-monarchism, race nationalism, or any of the rest of this ludicrous nonsense. One thing being nuts does not make it reasonable to embrace other things that are nuts.
I see the fact that some non-trivial number of people have embraced these kinds of ideologies "in reaction" against SJW ideology as evidence that they were always latent racists and fascists to begin with. Either that or they're lazy thinkers who are easily provoked/trolled into taking irrational reactive positions. Either way the people who have jumped on these bandwagons have failed some kind of test: either a test for the decency of their beliefs or an IQ test.
