Trolling can have social value. It can expose the absurdity of a prevailing social movement, as in the case of Oli London, whose parody account acts as a devastating critique of the mainstream trans rights movement and its demands that gender be redefined as a self-sensed property that is assigned through self-identification, and demands pronoun use in accordance with this new definition (which is why university courses now start with each student declaring their personal pronouns).

Non-conformity and conflict are not always bad things. They can be a symptom of disharmony, but the correct solution to the disharmony may be a shifting of the status quo, rather than a stamping out of the dissident voices. The path of least resistance to reducing conflict is to silence dissident voices, but that removes a valuable source of constructive change that reduces conflict in the long run.

To say it succinctly...

Psychopaths like psychopaths.

This is… I don’t know. I lack words to describe it.

You don't even have to look at extremes like Oli London (thanks for the link, them/they/kor/ean are awesome!) for an example. In the past few years, whenever I hear about something new American wokes are suggesting or something Trump said, most of the time I can't guess whether I'm being trolled or not.

that's a very positive and progressive profile imho

Hah, if he's willing to get botox in his lips he's probably being sincere. Or, maybe it's just some sort of video editing magic?

A lot of online interaction is based on "If I can prove how this person is terrible, then I can be happy because I've proven to myself that I'm a better person.". Well, a glance at this Twitter account makes me feel better, because I'm certain he's a very unhappy troll, because people looking for offense wherever they turn surely will find them, and he's probably a very unhappy person because he feels he's been offended every day. Ah, that sweet persecution complex!
