We here in the 'States live in a plutocracy billed as a representative 
republic and commonly believed to be a democracy.

"In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows 
discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by 
posting inflammatory,[1] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online 
community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the 
deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[2] or 
of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion,[3] often for their 
own amusement."

I wonder if there's a corresponding word to describe those of us who 
post potentially-inflammatory comments with the intent of generating 
sufficiently passionate discussion to instigate actual change.  If so, 
the same word would doubtless have an antipathetic definition in for-
profit corporate dictionaries.
