Socratic Method Trolls use the Socratic Method in a disingenuous manner to try and win arguments, without ever having to make an argument themselves. SJW's, Libertarians and "Anarcho" Capitalists have all adopted Socratic Method Trolling to combat critics.
Socratic Method Trolls, when faced with an argument attacking their beliefs, rather than making a counter argument, will ask a (usually loaded) Socratic question. They are not seeking to gain understanding, as the Socratic Method is designed to do, they are looking for a specific response, that they think will prove their opponents argument wrong. If they don't get the desired response, they'll continue Socratic Method Trolling until they find something they can use to claim they've won. A logical fallacy, an inconsistency, a definition they disagree with, anything. Once they've found something, they'll use it to try and dismiss everything their opponent said.

Ancap critic: 'You should stop Socratic Method Trolling and learn how to form an argument.'

Get the Sofa King mug.She is the most annoying dumb bitch. She has no recollection of social cues. Sofia doesn't know when to shut the fuck up. She is a clingy cunt. She is school smart and all her teachers like her, but she is so far from street smart causing all of her classmates to hate her guts. She smells so bad you need to take 100 baths, soak in chemical solutions, and drive a plastic car through a car wash. She is the definition of annoying. Sofia is a trifling bitch!
Amanda: God that girl has no idea no one likes her.
Zach: yeah she doesn't understand social cues in any way, her name must be sofia
