By definition, any group of people approves of their own [[systemic bias]] and rejects strong opposition to it.

The [[New Troll point of view]] is thus usually (but not always) the opposite of the SVpov (strictly speaking it is the exact opposite of [[usual happy NPOV talk]]). The NTPOV indicates ethical attempts by [[trolls]] to defeat the SVpov by rational and reasoned argument, before the service is subject to real-world opposition (e.g. widespread criticism, legal action, etc.) due to its political importance. In general such attempts fail because of the lack of ethics of the sysop-vandals. | ||
Thus [[troll]] activity acts as an important warning to the [[sysop vandalism]] advocates - when it slacks off, that indicates either that the wiki has become politically irrelevant, or, that opposition will continue by other means, e.g. [[lawsuit]]s, or the more standard revolutionary methods for [[wiki regime change]]. | Thus [[troll]] activity acts as an important warning to the [[sysop vandalism]] advocates - when it slacks off, that indicates either that the wiki has become politically irrelevant, or, that opposition will continue by other means, e.g. [[lawsuit]]s, or the more standard revolutionary methods for [[wiki regime change]]. | ||
