We can't ossify the client when everyone needs to upgrade to the post-quantum soft fork in a few years.
Stop making mountains of molehills. Nothing Core is doing is changing what is possible, only what is by default permitted and acceptable if you run their software.
Nothing Core is doing threatens anyone. If national regulators are going to give you any trouble, then your problem is with those regulators and your personal OPSEC practices, not Bitcoin or Core.
Core isn't the government of Bitcoin. Nothing they do speaks for Bitcoin nor does anything they do bring any additional risks to users of Bitcoin.
Run what you want, but lets stop calling people names and hyping up conspiracy. There's no gain to 'controlling' Core. These people have different ideas and we should accept that.
You're acting like the cancel culture woke assholes who think they know best and anyone who disagrees is a racist and a secret nazi or some shit.
Give it a fucking rest.
