Time: How Trolls Are Ruining The Internet

as being the white man hated by blacks, gays, liberals, feminists, muslims, etc. long before the internet exploded, I can tell you that the internet only amplified those trolls
 
Just as I suspected. Trolls are mostly to the right and conservatives.

....."But trolling has become the main tool of the alt-right, an Internet-grown reactionary movement that works for men’s rights and against immigration and may have used the computer from Weird Science to fabricate Donald Trump. Not only does Trump share their attitudes, but he’s got mad trolling skills: he doxxed Republican primary opponent Senator Lindsey Graham by giving out his cell-phone number on TV and indirectly got his Twitter followers to attack GOP political strategist Cheri Jacobus so severely that her lawyers sent him a cease-and-desist order.

The alt-right’s favorite insult is to call men who don’t hate feminism “cucks,” as in “cuckold.” Republicans who don’t like Trump are “cuckservatives.” Men who don’t see how feminists are secretly controlling them haven’t “taken the red pill,” a reference to the truth-revealing drug in The Matrix. They derisively call their adversaries “social-justice warriors” and believe that liberal interest groups purposely exploit their weakness to gain pity, which allows them to control the levers of power. Trolling is the alt-right’s version of political activism, and its ranks view any attempt to take it away as a denial of democracy."

Who is against immigration?
 
What could have been an interesting look at how sadistic sociopaths have learned to use the internet to get their kicks, instead we have a cheap tedious diatribe again the "alt-right". Sloppy work, Time.

It did ramble, conflate the issues. But it wasn't the actual article, I didn't think. I think it was a reaction to it, wasn't it?

I'm not sure what you mean. The link was to the Time article, wasn't it? Anyway, I read the linked article and responded to that.
