it also doesn't factor in how these irrelevant attacks alienate people who might consider joining their cause.

there are apparently over 25 million people in the US that play golf.

If, for no reason, you insult them and their hobby, you've lost a ton of potential allies.

Take this example I saw here a few days back:

https://lemmy.world/comment/4964970

A guy posts a picture of his motorcycle and some miserable sonofabitch comes in screaming at him:

Thanks for adding more pollution to our climate. Asshole.

Fuck that. Any person that intentionally pollutes the air should be publicly shamed and eviscerated.

yea, great job, guy..
