Nah, not everyone would behave the same way if they weren't going to be held accountable for what they say. You hit the nail on the head when you said anonymity feeds your contrarian streak - the people who "turn into" asshole when they're anonymous always had those impulses, the anonymity just lets them act on them without fearing the repercussions.

Being contrarian isn't necessarily an asshole move though. I think a lot of people just go with the flow because it's easier to trust what other people say without looking into it for themselves. And let's be real, most of the commentary people make on the hot button issue of the day has maybe a hour of research behind it at best.

Let's be real, a lot of knee-jerk contrarianism has maybe an hour of research behind it at best too, right?

There's a neutral ground between agreeing automatically with the group consensus and being contrarian on purpose though - especially if it's to the point of not even knowing if you really stand for what you say. "I need more info before making a decision" is an option you can take without going "I disagree, just because I prefer to disagree."

[(Anonymous)]

Disagreeing with the majority opinion isn't necessarily an asshole move. Being deliberately contrarian generally is, and is rarely any more well-researched than any other commentary.

There are circumstances where a dissenting voice is necessary, even if that dissent is being offered by someone who doesn't personally agree with the position. Anonymous internet arguments ain't one of 'em.
