This exhortation disturbs my internal moral and ethical meme as well as my
golden rule meme. Anyone who takes up this course has a hostility toward some
specific memes (evengelist fund raisers, I would suppose) while also
embracing the cheap meme (I'll be hostile and work against etc as long as I
don't have to actually spend any money on it).

A lot of people embrace the golden rule meme because it protects them (sort
of) against this kind of attack. Imagine trying this hostile route and
ticking them off... they have lawyers and assets that can make your life
miserable for quite a while.
