The problem with "trolling" is that the word nominally means "person expressing insincere views to upset people" but in practice overwhelmingly means "person expressing sincere views which upset me"(self)

You hit the nail on the head. I would add that when you have a person who believes in subjectivity over objectivity, as is commonly found on the left, there is literally no way to ever reason with them. Not only do facts not matter, because everything is subjective, but other opinions don't matter because they are trolls.

People who believe in subjectivity over objectivity are just as common on the right. It is the default human condition, and takes training to overcome.
