Many academics I see online are leftist whereas many laypeople I see online are right wing.

At Uni i sometimes wished for a rightwing person just to debate things. Everyone agreed on most issues,so there we’re rarely spicy debates.
For debate, I’d be willing to take a different position.
I do this sometimes on Lemmy. “I’m with you on Sony and disc games, but here are the arguments their lawyers would make about it…”
I get annoyed when someone posts a “side” I agree with, but uses a complete zero-thought, easily-defeated argument to defend it. A classic one is “If buying isn’t owning, then pirating isn’t stealing.”
