Your classic troll was an amoral sociopath or played one on the internet. His only cause was his own amusement. He advocated horrible and contradictory causes because it amused him to infuriate people. If he could get an entire group howling for his blood, he won. If an outraged media reported on his antics, he was a prince among trolls. Chaos and absurdity were his only agendas.

But eventually the trolls who did it for the "Lulz" gave way to the "Moralfags" sincere trolls who
were sincerely terrible people.

They had the same style as trolls, but there was nothing to deconstruct there. Trolling was just how they advocated for their agenda. It was like the difference between Andy Kaufman and David Letterman. When you actually have an agenda and a program, your surreal deconstruction isn't deconstructing anything. It's just a stylistic choice, it's how you present your agenda.

It's the difference between Dadaists dumping a kitchen sink in a fashionable art gallery and a fashionable retailer selling art prints of that kitchen sink a hundred years later. Deconstruction becomes fashion. The subversive becomes stylistic. The troll turns sincere.

Sums up most political discourse on message boards, sadly.

 

[ABikerSailor]

Actually, trolling seems to be the new standard for stump speeches and town halls by our politicians.

Did you hear about Donald the Chump and his attack on Rubio? Seems that in addition to calling in Ted Cruz's eligibility for president because he was born in Canada (to an American mother), Chump is now wondering if Rubio is eligible as well.

Yes the far left drones made it popular by constantly running their debunked narratives..

They also want to silence anyone that disagrees with them..

AS IF Stephie ever had anything substantive to add that wasn't from some rw site like American Thinker or The Daily Caller

And a racist far left drone troll comes in and proves my comments!

 

[JakeStarkey]

Kosh, you are trolling again. Do you have anything on the OP?

 

[mdk]

Daniel Greenfield loves political humor so long as the joke isn't on him. I do find it rather comical that a painfully unfunny person is smugly lecturing others on humor. lol

 

[B. Kidd]

As long as the majority of trolls are politically incorrect, than let trolls rule..........

Steph,

Can you define "Dadaist"?

More to the point, can she define 'troll.' Granted, there are some amazingly rude people on this board, but when someone starts a thread and I disagree and put in my two cents worth, why is that trolling?
