You could throw a trillion isk at the "issue" and it still wouldn't earn you an ounce of credit as long as you don't put any personal effort into it.
You can't buy relevance. You have to earn it through actual work. Hours and hours of interaction with human beings to make them believe that you care.
The sillies part about your "crusade" is that you can't even convince people that you care about the supposed damage that the Goons are doing. All you can do is latch on the infamy of the Goon name to try and leech some relevance off of it.

Paying 50 billion isk for Marmite's wardecs to do 300 billion isk damage to you guys is in fact an accomplishment and a rather efficient one at that. For every billion he spends, your coalition loses 60 billion. It's simply economics.
The wardecs only effect coalition members that are stupid enough to take Freighters and other expensive ships into high sec on in-Alliance characters. By paying to have them killed he's just supplying some chlorine to the CFC genepool.
No one laughs as hard about the wardec kills as the CFC members themselves and it's a great benefit to us that they make examples out of CFC members who do stupid things. Otherwise that brand of stupidity would flourish.

No smart man would waste his playing time watching a bombless bomber shooting a structure for hours so some other guys can earn money from a video game. Nor would a smart man ever camp an NPC station that he can't capture. Without dumb people in the ranks, the CFC couldn't exist.
I understand that you despise them just as much as I do and you honestly laugh when my mercs pop them. But without these dumb people to press F1 when told and do the bombless bomber work, you'd be in lowsec.
We do what we do because it amuses us.
the CFC are a lot of things but it's never boring.
And I've been on 15 hour long siege bomber fleets. I played Starbound in the background while doing it and just had a good time talking to people on coms while doing it.
We are not humans in Eve. We are humans playing Eve together and the interaction with other people is the only thing of value.
Orbiting a tower, launching endless waves of torpedoes doesn't diminish the value of good company any more than playing a boardgame does.

Or if he writes up 1 paragraph and that motivates 20 CFC members to each write multiple paragraphs, he's exerting an amount of effort that's motivating a reaction several times the cost of his own.
Except it's not about ratio. It's about relevant magnitude.
The total isk value of all the isk, ships, materials and equipment in the entire CFC versus the damage he supposedly does.
Gevlon spending 10 billion to do 30 billion worth of damage to the CFC is about as effective at hurting the CFC as me spending 10 million isk to do 30 million worth of damage to Gevlon.
And the bragging rights are about the same too.
On a nullsec block level. The entire worth of Gevlon is chump change. We spend more isk on fuel just to stare down enemy fleets over tower timers than he has ever owned in his entire Eve career.
If Nullsec is the Iraq war then Gevlon is standing on the sidelines, putting a hundred dollars into the "Iraqi Surface-to-air missile fund" while believing his contribution is relevant.

we, on the other hand: you may hate us, you may desperately try to convince yourself you don't want to be us, you can do whatever you want...but you can't pretend to ignore us Retar, do you have a high rank within the Goons that merits you to speak on their behalf or are you merely one of their insignificant drones that feels mighty because he is a speck amongst a blob of 30k pilots? You certainly use "we" a lot...not a good way to define an individual.
Rank? There are no ranks in the Goons. There's just citizens and the people tending to them.

It's their RP home. It's all politically significant and such.

Gevlon Goblin wrote:What's the purpose of owning Sov and structures in space?
To have a home. A home where we live, where we have everything that we work for and ultimately where we make a stand.
Here we are. We are here because we can defend it against everyone who ever wanted to take it from us.
We have a capital and it's an open challenge to all our enemies to take it. The fact that we have it and hold it proves our united strength because it's a home that is defended by us and not by game mechanics.
It's the difference between living in a station and squatting in a station.
When MOA are defeated in a fight for their own home, they dock up and wait for the enemies to get bored and leave.
When our home is attacked we defend it or we lose it all together. We are committed to it and we will hold the line for our home and all the citizens that live there. Against any and all enemies.

Half the members left in September. You need to shovel more money into the furnace if you want to reach YA0 before Christmas
Goonswarm is doing its part. Putting money into the MOA collection plate to insure that future generations of goons may enjoy hunting wild MOAs just as their forefathers did.
Despite our best efforts, the number of Wild MOAs are decreasing at a rapid pace. Goon ornithologists theorize that these timid and elusive creatures can't breed in the captivity of the space station that they have been confined to, and that it may be necessary to bring in a new healthier flock in the future. Once the current one has been hunted to extinction.

Goon logic at its finest.
So your very own comparison to paint yourself as the good guy is that you're Bill Gates paying local mercs to kill Somalians?
You are so bad at this.
You might as well stack all your money in a pile and burn it for all the good will you manage to buy yourself with it.
