      It’s just polarizing. You’re just making people more staunch in their beliefs or just annoying people who would rather not deal with aggression (like myself)

      If your goal is to drive people away and make a space where everyone just agrees with you all the time then it’s effective.

        Polarization is clarifying. It drives away fascists which protects their targets and makes spaces safe for them. It also exposes people who would more readily share spaces with fascists and just ignore them than with the people who oppose them.

        If it drives away people like you who ignore fascism, yet want to argue that opposing it is immature, then that’s a bonus
