A '''concern troll''' is a person who participates in a debate posing as an actual or potential ally who simply has some "concerns" before they will ally themselves with a cause. In reality they are a critic.  And they use those concerns in an attempt to undermine the conversation. Concern trolling is primarily used to inject the oppositions talking points into the conversation without erasing suspicion.

A '''concern troll''' is a charlatan who insincerely invokes professed concern about an issue, whether genuine or not, with the aim of exploiting it to propagate fallacious attacks on their opponents. Concern trolls claim to advocate particular causes they actually oppose or have no interest in for the purpose of appearing righteous.

 

A classic example of concern trolling is when leftists advocate higher taxes on the wealthy, claiming they are compassionate towards the needs of the poor, yet they are known for comparably less levels of charitable giving than their conservative counterparts, who they ironically claim lack compassion. Studies consistently demonstrate that conservatives contribute more to charity than liberals,<ref>The Examiner (February 18, 2008).
