The on lookers don't care. That's why they are on lookers. The best you might do is prevent someone searching for an ideology blindly adopting some rando's. Honestly, though, if they are letting rando's arguing online form their worldview you are far from actually helping them.
They don't care consciously, but subconsciously they'll know and remember the time and idea was defended badly whenever it comes up, especially if their knowledge on it is a blank or close to blank slate.
If you make it entertaining and thus a source of dopamine, and even better yet very consumable - you've got bonafide content and then people start caring, even if it's only for lulz.
They'll associate your views with intelligent witty dunks and the dopamine they bring and have a favourable view of them.
That's both the model of the "Le angry feminazis!" reaction channels of the post-gamergate world and the hbomberguys of the world, especially his earliee stuff.
