I would say they are extremely small subset, yes. The Motherboard article itself does take note that it's hard to tell if they are being serious or not (they also do mention Nazi fetishism elements from an old livejournal group). The author also showed reservation about writing about this group in hopes of not seeming they should be given a microphone of any kind for what they do.
Personally, I always have the naivete of taking a person at their word for what they label themselves, for better or worse. I mean laughing is a healthy way to deal with adversity at times, but at the end it's not going to stop the adversity. I mean, how many laughed when Trump rode down that escalator after announcing his candidacy?
Not enough to stop him from becoming President it seems.
