An extreme pacifist might get more abuse than someone who isn't, for instance

Don't know whether I'd qualify as extreme, but yeah, pacifism tends to be equated with all sorts of deliberate harm by some people who consider things like war and violent retribution necessary evils if not even inherently good 😮‍💨

Also, there's the "sticking to your principles in spite of popular sentiment is the same as naïveté" crowd 🤦
