Me having fun might scare my enemies more, actually

Disclaimer

Main

I used to think that I need to be capable of having fun with ingroup, be angry and scary in front of outgroup, and was unsure how to be around neutrals.
I now think this might be completely wrong? Maybe I should just be having fun everywhere.
If there were random strangers on the internet plotting my demise, I would actually be more scared of them if they were having fun while doing it, as opposed to if they were posting angry rants. It would signal that they are genuinely at peace with the fact that they're doing this, they're mentally healthy, they're likely to attract allies, and so on.
Even with neutral people, if they say I'm doing something morally wrong, I can just be like "lol whatever you say." If I have internal moral clarity none of this will affect me and I can just laugh about it. If neutral people say I'm gonna fail, I can just say "lol okay sure we will see."
Ofcourse with the ingroup and potential new recruits, having fun is more likely to attract them, that is not really questionable.
Writing this insight down makes me happy.
