An inhabitant of text-based open platforms such as Reddit, 4Chan or the Youtube comment section.
Often characterized by their tendency to give unwanted attention, they will attempt to assert dominance by insulting people for innocuous actions, such as playing a popular video game, watching anime, or declaring your allegiance to an online fandom.
In fact, knowledge of internet fandoms causes immense physical pain to the troglodyte, as they often voice their displeasure through increased aggression, autistic screeching, and overuse of the word "cringe."
When they feel safe, they will usually state their opinions as if they were actual facts that everyone agrees with. Citing unreliable sources and relying on an infinitesimal sample size.
Upon confrontation, however, they will state that it was "only an opinion" in an attempt to preserve their status and assert their dominance.
The troglodyte's strength lies in its numbers. If there are enough troglodytes in a group (often called a "tumor"), they can create an echo chamber effect for anyone that has an opposing opinion, resulting in assimilation into their ranks. This is the source of the troglodyte's confidence, as it leads many to believe they have the power to shape reality.
There are many ways to deal with troglodytes, the most reliable being disengagement. You may also attempt discourse with a troglodyte, but their reliance on insults and circular logic makes them difficult to best in a verbal altercation.

A person who lives away from the coasts and metropolises, once referred to as a 'hinterlander' but no longer deserving of that otherwise-dignified term. He regards himself as a "real American" and his culture as that of such. He is adamant about his Second Amendment rights but isn't very interested in those other, less-relevant amendments that only the judges and politicians- who he scorns as being "leeches"- care about. He hates the idea of more laws, government or regulation of anything that reduce what he regards as "freedom", itself a word that he flings about without care. He hates non-real Americans, i.e. American citizens who are unlike himself, and those who he hates the most passionately are Muslims, all of whom he associates with the 9/11 attacks. In his telling you what's wrong with the U.S. and the way things ought to be, he could endlessly expand this definition without even knowing he is doing so.
Troglodyte: indoor-smoking, hard-drinking, pickup truck driving, Muslim-hating, liberal-hating, foreigner-hating, homophobic, gun-loving, self-assumed Christian who hasn't set foot in church in "only God knows when".
