The 1MB "short term hack" got Bitcoin to where it is today.
Go ahead and make all the noise you want. Stamp your feet and hold your breath.
Enlist Reddit as your personal army. Issue threats. Spin up XT nodes.
It won't make a difference; the block size is staying at 1MB for the foreseeable future.
Nobody except your fellow Gavinistas cares how many times you fatuously repeat 'ZOMG TEMPORARY 1MB LIMIT IS TEMPORARY RAISE IT NOW.'
It won't stay, because the Gavinistas are the majority and you represent a minority.
Is that why Gavin's 20MB proposal got #REKT like Stannis at Winterfell?

The Gavinista's supposed numerical superiority is irrelevant, because they don't have as many Bitcoins as the 1MB defenders.
Even if they had more (and were willing to risk/spend/lose them), the leverage provided by the Gavincoin Short allows Team 1MB to survive extended siege by swarming plagues of redditards.
Make all the grandiose claims and populist appeals you wish. Like you, they have no power here.
The Gavinistas will continue to discover what it means to attack a system that is defensible, diffuse, diverse, and resilient.
I hope these teachable moments will educate them on the principles of Bitcoin Sovereignty!
