This is a really interesting point. Trolling, in my opinion, occurs when the opportunity to question narratives is suppressed or forbidden.

Open any unmoderated comments section on any site and you'll find thousands of trolls.

It's strange that you think trolling is some subversive and venerable reaction to censorship, when anonymously commenting on websites is a nearly effortless act that incurs neither a cost nor risk.
