The XTfork is dangerous as it turned a technical debate into a political one
Even worst, they have turned this debate into a divisive governance issue well outside of the actual block size problem.
This is a political problem and not a technical one. Bitcoin can not and should not be divorced from already previously existing political theory. These are fundamental questions of who is in charge of Bitcoin, and how do we, and how should we reach consensus decisions. This question is as important as the block size debate itself, this question is more political in nature then it is technical, which is why I think we need to compromise some of our technical ideals in favor of political goals.

Since I have a backround in political philosophy. I have written more on this subject here:

I also thought that this video was very insightful:

I have read your word salad full of blatant lies and misconstruction of the events. I am not interested.

We don't need no reconsideration of Bitcoin governance. Bitcoin governs itself. The blocksize question is absolutely technical. XT has turned it into a governance coup on the premise of "decentralizing" development and "inclusion". That's not happening
