Getting back on topic it seems like UASF is just a backdoor way to try and force SegWit. Seriously if SegWit can't stand on its own then there is a problem.

This statement is nonsense. UASF is a decent proposal; definitely not a backdoor. SW has near unanimous developer approval, supermajority of users and the economy approval; AntPool is holding the network hostage due to ASICBoost.

AsicBoost is just an improved mining technique, it isn't about blocksize.

The developer community is divided and no where near unanimous. If what you claimed was true there wouldn't be so many competing Bitcoin forks. Even the Bitcoin Core isn't unanimous if you listen to the devs that were kicked out.

Again I stand by my claim, UASF seems only to function to try and force SegWit. It is just more confusion being thrown out there.

Antpool is holding out for a blocksize increase via a hard fork. At least that is what they have stated.
