No. There is absolute no guarantee that there will be a 2 MB hard fork, and there is almost zero community support for it. It is way too rushed (3 months after BIP91).

I've heard this time and again, what is that community you speak of?

She is talking about the mining community, they are the ones who must support either Segwit or Segwit2x so that that the fork must take place and currently its the hard fork which seems to have won.

Thanks but the mining community is supporting 2mb to a large extent as far as I understand(?) but Lauda says "zero community support" for 2mb so it must be another community. What community is that??

Clearly an exaggeration, but it wasn't meant to be literal.

R/bitcoin has about 4,500 users online right now (biased against larger blocks) and r/btc has about 1,000 users online (biased in favour of larger blocks). Bitcointalk's support is somewhat mixed, but I'd say there's more people against large blocks (this has been shifting a tad to the bigger-block side over time, but is still not there yet).

If you go on a big-block figure's Twitter (e.g. Roger Ver, Jihan Wu), you'll notice hatred that streams for miles.
