About OP discussion, no wonder here is no analysis of top big blocks shills at all, because they just worship small blocks without rational reasons behind, thus most lacking analytical skills at all.

It just shows how disconnected with reality the OP'er has become. This is a side effect of living under a censoring regime. When you only get to see one side of an argument, you start to believe that it is the only narrative.

That's very true, yes, but the interesting phenomena we are witnessing here is that one side of the argument are seemingly completely closed to any new input. Surely many are mindless followers who still watch MSM (i.e. people with a need to be told what to do who go with initial impressions of what feels best and then listen only to confirmatory sources, because they have unknowingly lost the ability to think for themselves), of course, but some seem far too sophisticated in their understanding and writing. Your "Confirmed Gavinista" is reflective of this closed mindset.

Mostly it's just amusing that people around here like to think of themselves as crypto-anarchists, but only until someone disagrees. Then they swiftly turn into crypto-fascists and start whining about "contentious issues" that shouldn't be discussed and attempting to justify stifling debate about it and calling people "shills". You're about as anarchistic as the average teenager, but with slightly less of a spine. Roll Eyes

That's a premature assumption you're making. Obviously it should be discussed, and is being discussed. The point is the observation that one side, or at least the most visible posters of one side, amazingly do not accept new input at all, and just keep reiterating the same false arguments ad nauseum.

Are you operating under the assumption that the "bad guys" are sitting idly by while decentralization undoes their millennia-old consolidation of centralized control over resources? Or do you not even believe there are any "bad guys" and that everything is as the MSM says?

I'm watching this "Small block militia" for some month and this is their master-piece.

Funnily I never found them really discussing reasons about the problems with an increase of the blocklimits (I know that those problems exist, but I'd like to discuss them). Sometimes they answer questions, but if you discuss it, they leave. Usually their habbit is not to discuss, but to start personal attacks, insults, doxxings, character assasination. Their mindset seems to be best characterized by a slavish submissive to authority and hate for everyone whose worldview expands their very narrow perspective on bitcoin and everything else.

You must be joking. The strongest statists among the core devs are the big-blockers! Gavin, Hearn, Garzik, etc. Do some research before you make ridiculous assumptions.
