A troll is only worth not responding too if we know the troll doesnt believe what they are saying and they are doing it for the fun of stiring and nothing more. If they do believe what they are saying and its false then we need to stand up and tell them why its false. Its the only way we can possibly change minds and mitigate against misinformation.

And as you say, in current times where people literally argue the world is flat, how do we tell if an anonymous poster doesnt believe what they are saying?
Do you meet your stated criteria of what a troll is sometimes, Seeds?

Trolls are not worth responding to directly regardless

All you're doing is giving them attention and oxygen

But yeah, he was just there to discuss ideas
Why has he not been canonised yet?

So I've always been intrigued by the term far left ideology. Is it forcing universal health care and gun control on a population suddenly rife with equality?

Sounds terrifying.

No no no it's tampons in men's bathrooms and handing over your personal details to a globalist government database so they can force you to study critical race theory at a Marxist educational facility.


They know what you really mean when you say universal healthcare and ID checks for gun purchases... you mean these things. Because you're a spooky Halloween voice Soooooooooooocialist.
 
Then come the murder camps and the burial pits! It's the only way to... straighten... them out, right?

I am very Far Right.
But it’s not just Jews gypsies and disabled you want to execute, there’s white folks you are happy to kill to

So totes not Nazi

The Supreme Court is about to give Donald Trump the power to purge independent watchdogs — and crown itself the ultimate ruler over American democracy.

If you watched the justices during Trump v. Slaughter, you could feel it: this wasn’t a legal debate. It was the conservative majority announcing that the rules of American government are about to be rewritten — by them.

Here’s the setup. FTC Commissioner Rebecca Kelly Slaughter was protected by a 90-year-old precedent that prevents presidents from firing independent regulators just because they don’t fall in line.

That protection has been rock solid since Humphrey’s Executor in 1935. But last week, the Court’s conservative bloc basically rolled their eyes at it. Reuters reported Chief Justice John Roberts dismissed the precedent as a “dried husk.”

And the conservative justices all but announced they’re ready to let Trump fire her — and by extension, cripple the independence of dozens of agencies that exist to protect regular people. Reuters and AP both noted the Court appears poised to hand Trump broad power to remove agency heads at will.

But the most alarming part wasn’t what they said about Trump. It was what they said about themselves.

Several conservative justices floated an idea that should chill every American, no matter their politics: even if they give Trump sweeping control over the federal bureaucracy now, they can always “step in” later and slap down a future president they don’t like. The Guardian reported that the Court is essentially preparing to grant Trump the power now — while reserving a veto over a Democratic president’s actions later.

Imagine that. A Supreme Court that empowers one president and restrains another, depending on the politics of the moment.

That’s not constitutional interpretation. That’s unchecked power.

And they’ve already tested the strategy. Over the past few years, the conservative majority created the “major questions doctrine” — a legal weapon they’ve used almost exclusively to kneecap Joe Biden’s policies on climate, student debt, and public health.

Now they’re ready to combine that power with a presidency they hope to make even more imperial.

And let’s be clear about what collapses if agency independence dies: oversight of monopolies, environmental protections, worker rights, consumer safeguards — all the tools that exist to keep corporations from steamrolling the public. Politico reports that overturning Humphrey’s Executor would put the independence of dozens of agencies on the chopping block.

Under Trump, that means loyalty over expertise.Under a future Democratic president, that means the Supreme Court can simply veto anything it finds too “major.”

This isn’t checks and balances; it’s a rigged game where the refs wear team jerseys.

This moment isn’t about one case. It’s about whether the public still gets a say in how their government works. Whether democracy is something we participate in — or something the Court manages like a private estate.

If people don’t speak up now, the balance of power won’t just shift.

It will snap.

And the next president won’t be the only one calling the shots — the Supreme Court will be calling them right over his shoulder.>>>

Just do what Trump has done at stages - effectively say 'thats nice' and ignore their rulings.

Dangerous, undesirable way to operate for sure. Just not sure what else is to be done while conservatives continue to so blatantly change the rules and hollow out the joint to suit themselves.
