I like meta-trolling: saying things that make people mad that you would use such poor, unsubtle, or low-hanging tactics to try to antagonize them.

Partly this and partly people who are seeking to antagonize others because they know people get all emotionally riled up and insecure when they feel their views are being undermined. For instance, overall gun violence in the US and the disproportionate gun violence in Chicago can both be real problems, but if someone is clutching to a particular ideology and deeply into tribal politics they may see the topic as concern trolling, likewise a troll may make a topic like this knowing it will garner a emotional reaction from those types of people.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

That's the accusers' problem unfortunately. Especially because "concern trolling" can be about literally any subject, yet is associated with right wing politics? Seems like a massive leap to connect the phrase to a particular political party.

They can accuse all they want, it doesn't make them correct.

Frankly, CE calls people MAGA for far less, some users must have a fetish on this board for vilifying others based on the slightest off beat opinions. Not to say theres arent users who have been disparaged accurately, but I dont think its unreasonable to say some users of CE gets off on that sort of hostility.
