Yes I still believe the incentives align with censorship resistance and that the txs will still be mined maybe just take longer to confirm but people’s willingness to censor transactions they don’t like seems antithetical

It makes enough sense to me... what's antithetical to their supposed values is when they say that spam is "illegitimate" as in illegal. Like no, it's all voluntary. I ran into this a year and a half ago or so when spam was extra bad and was very, very confused. I thought people here understood natural law legal theory but apparently not. So I feel ya.
Another proof of why decentralization is so important for bitcoins continued success.
Yuppp!! But it's already so decentralized, we're golden. Two miners hogging up 70% of the hashpower? Non-issue. The minute they start censoring, they're toast and OCEAN wins the hashpower race due to bigger fees. Core gone rogue? People switching to Knots. Luke and Mechanic too paranoid about Bitcoin's future? New forks will get made.
We as Bitcoiners don't even realize how good we have it and how much the free market has got this thing under control. All we have to do is have the wisdom and the insight to see it, and not get dragged into the mud with our arrogance thinking we need to wrestle control back from the market or from individuals we think are capturing it, who cannot ever capture it in reality.
Like, it's good to keep analyzing it and looking out for problems and working on it. We should. But in so doing, we gotta not be presumptuous. We don't need to control it. We need to analyze it from first principles and with respect for the reality of natural laws. Then we can act for the good of Bitcoin and for the good of ourselves in maintaining the true Bitcoin.
