I understand what the term refers to, but I have no clue about its origins. Anyone?

It comes from 8kun (formerly 8chan)

It refers to shills posting on an anonymous, comparing them with glow-worms.

It's similar to a concern-troll, but somebody who is openly calling for (or attempting to incite) patriots/conservatives to get angry and violent.
