That's not an argument, it's just contradiction

  1. No it isn't.

  3. No it isn't.

Oh man there was an entire south park episode about this...

Even triggering arguments to build up hype on socials. Can't find the episode, but it mentioned arguing or disagreeing with someone while aiming for a 3rd person to jump in overreacting and it spreads.

Edit: found it

Season 20 finale, 2010, featuring Elon musk...

It's a way in which one person can create a massive reaction on the Internet. Look, person A trolls person B, but it's not about person B, the troll is trying to push buttons to try and get a reaction from hundreds, eventually creating person C, whose overreaction and self righteousness will elicit a reaction from persons D through F, who weren't trolls but can't help rip on person C.
