This is a false representation of what Bitcoin Unlimited actually does which is to hand over all of the power to mining nodes.
No it is not. It does not hand over all the power to mining nodes. Please stop being so stupid - we know you are smarter than that.
In effect, BU removes any power the individual, independent users might've had.
In effect, it does no such thing. It does the exact opposite. It strives to return an equilibrium among all stakeholders.
I can see how you are getting things arse-over-tit these days. Look at your segwit BIP X for example - previously BIPs were a way to formalise ideas and discuss them. However, you yourself admitted, that the segwit was coded first ( ready for implementation) and BIP'ped afterwards. Thats exactly the opposite to how things are normally done in Open Source.
