Trolling is a form of terrorism, a form of control. As with fighting any kind of terrorism, we cannot give in to our fears. Trolls get delight in causing panic and distress in people. By continuing to post, interact, and go on with our lives, we deprive these individuals of their power. Our best defense is to ignore them and continue on as we normally would.

Lots of Kids

Let me tell it from a troll’s point of view:

What is popular always dominates.

What is difficult is never popular.

Therefore, our society self-censors and removes a wide spectrum of important ideas because they are offensive, require cerebration, complex, unpleasant or simply not absolute, meaning that they apply universally to everyone everywhere always and therefore make us feel life is safe.

Death is certain… life is not. We are surrounded by death, and the more we try to banish it, the more we make. Wars to end all wars. Nanny states. Jobs and social roles so tedious death seems positive.

Trolls are forest fires. We attack the weak and the innocent, consume the refuse, and spit out a nice uniform layer of ash which fertilizes new generations.

You — the vast majority, who are now in absolute power — have ruined everything good about humanity by making it “safe.” Trolls oppose that. Our goal is to hurt you and wake you up. It’s a form of love, if you can think that far.

Allahu ackbar!
