I do not agree that we would all be raping and murdering all the time if it wasn't for the all powerful government putting us in our place.

It is reasonable to plan a PoW change in response to a 51% attack. It is unreasonable to suggest that Bitmain are mentally deranged and intent on destroying Bitcoin for no reason and that we should pre-emptively attack to punish them for something you have no evidence for.

You completely misunderstood my point. State involvement doesn't keep people from raping and murdering. It actually tends to do the exact opposite. If the people running Bitmain are primarily funded by government, then they are acting in their government's best interest. If you can't see how this is a mortal threat to bitcoin, there's no point discussing it further in this thread.
