Basically, concern trolling is faking or expressing concern and sorrow over something for social good boy points, or alternatively to purposefully derail and sow discord in the community.

It's quite a slimy tactic sometimes because it can cause ACTUAL people with legitimate concerns/questions/disagreements to be labelled concern trolls if the targeted community catches on, HOWEVER, in this case, I think concern trolling may be warranted since reddit is already a censored shithole full of paranoid jannies, so adding to their schizoid paranoia isn't really much of a detriment.

Or we can obey the rules of r/Europe while still having civilized debate/discussion between right and left?

Whatever, see you guys there I suppose.

Obeying their rules means not debating. The moderators there would censor us if we said anything without some minor amount of covering our ass/concern trolling. We pretty much have to pretend to not be Third Position there, because even that (detached from the alt-right) is risque.
