I think it's more of a "screw gamers/intellectuals/scientists/researchers because my base hates them" tact.

As an aside, seeing the word "tact" used like this is a little disorienting, even if it is a widely used slang form of the word "tactic".

There is the (originally nautical?) term "tack" which means "A direction or course of action, especially a new one.", and it's hard to separate those similar sounding/meaning/looking words.
