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

"We don't need no reconsideration of Bitcoin governance." Oke, so you think we should not consider the political aspects of what is happening here, because according to you this should be a purely technical debate.

"XT has turned it into a governance coup on the premise of "decentralizing"." development and "inclusion"." Then how come you are using terms like "governance coup"? Even though these are political concepts.

Can you see the contradiction in what you have said here?

Since if this was a coup we certainly should consider the political aspects of what is happening here, so that we can be better informed on what side we should be on. Because sometimes coupes or revolutions are necessary, and this should also certainly be true for Bitcoin, after all that is why this political mechanism already exists within the Bitcoin protocol itself. Since it is required in order for Bitcoin to remain truly free and decentralized.
