First I've heard of this, but after some admittedly light reading I'll provide a contrary opinion.
The theory is not the same as the combined beliefs of those who follow it.
Based on what I have read of the theory itself, it seems 100 percent plausible.
Much of what you describe seems to be in addition to, not a part of, Dead Internet Theory.
Issue is that people like to categorise other people into groups, and so even if you only believe the plausible or even provably true parts of it, if you try and propagate it you'll lose credibility in a lot of people's eyes
