I really dislike how concern trolls manage to make it hard to be legitimately concerned about things. Like yes their “concerns” are pretty clearly a list of unsubstantiated talking points or “evidence” from nowhere. But because of the way they weaponize that stuff the people who have legit, non-agenda questions or concerns can’t raise them without being accused of being a concern troll.
There are controversial subjects out there that are not fully explored and not every person who presents with doubt about some particular idea or trend that’s gaining acceptance is part of the enemy.
There’s too many people out there who think questioning an ideology is the same as opposing an ideology.
When you have a more or less infinite supply of people working in bad faith, often from outside the community, packaged up as “just asking questions”, you don’t have a lot of room for discourse.
