I’ve seen novel thoughts, but typically they are coming from trolls who are taking impossibly contrarian opinions and presenting horrifying morally bankrupt perspectives. Maybe these ideas are common elsewhere though.

All the “good” ideas that can be said have probably been said. Maybe that’s why some people just enjoy trolling: for the novelty.

I don't know which ideas you're talking about, but I bet they are. Humanity has thousands of years of recorded navelgazing (the blog post) and reactions to navelgazing (me) and reactions to reactions to navelgazing (you) and so on.

Novelty is a morally bankrupt reason to enjoy trolling, so maybe you're onto something.

Or a most general word 'fun' ? ( yes it's a catch all...)
