Its my personal belief that the BU faction is enabled and encouraged by the Chines mining pools who are in turn controlled by Chines government oligarchs.
After a theoretical continuous hard fork between Bitcoin Core and BTU the mining pools who initiated the fork would be in full control of the BTU chain. They would have 95% of the hash power. Its my belief that if they fail to win a majority of the Bitcoin communities support and the price of BTU coins starts to fall dramatically below the price of Bitcoin they will halt all transactions on the BTU chain other then their own coins so they can flash sell for a huge profit before pointing their miners back to the Bitcoin Core chain. They will have lost there bid for complete control over Bitcoin but they will have made millions. It is known that Chines miing pools are sitting on millions hundreds of thousands of bitcoins.
It's very dramatic. But I respect your belief. But I'll try to bolding the true sentence. Looks like most of the Chinese miners have been known about the possibility of the BTU to fail in the future. In conclusion, if the Chinese miners are trying to get a short chance on the BTU chain in order to catch millions in a short time. In my belief, there is a collusion between some parties. They're using the critical part of the bitcion scalability to gaining more support with doing a lot of FUD right now (the blocksize limit).
