I don't agree with you on this. Before now, this was not the case with the network fees so it is a kind of crisis in mu position. We in the Bitcoin community do pride in the fact that Bitcoin offers the most convenient and cheapest means of sending money across borders,  but the recent increase in fees has changed that. Should we pretend about it?
Says who?
Have you taken the time to research back on how the Bitcoin network has evolved over time, take a step back and check what the fees were like in 2017-2018 and other subsequent years and even more recently this is not the first time man.
The argument is not if this is the first time or not, it is if the network fee is high or not. If you agree with me that majority of the times the network fees was lower than fiat, and that the high network fees that happens sometimes is usually caused by something, then you will also agree with me that the post is wrong.

The message your title is trying to pass to the community is that “Bitcoin is meant for the rich, and those that can afford to pay a high fee, and if you don’t have the resources don’t use bitcoin”.
This is exactly the message the post is conveying even though that may not be the intention. Even some OGs still comfirm that the fee is high as it is impacting negatively on people and those who adopted Bitcoin as means of payment in their businesses.
