Negotiating with those who want to embed arbitrary data on Bitcoin is no different than negotiating with terrorists. Core’s (probably clia-backed) psyop is the beginning of a long term terrorist plot to undermine node sovereignty. They seek to terrorize plebs by weaponizing policies that exclusively benefit nodes they see as economically significant. I for one won’t be negotiating with terrorists.

This is a terrorist (angry) post too.
Don't be so extremist.
Yes they are not perfect, but if they really want to destroy BTC they would have done it a lot more before and in the right way !
I think they experiment things that can be dangerous, but no more and not less than that.
Bitcoin is all that stands in the way of a mandibles scenario, so someone has to hold the line. I don’t think the plan was to ever destroy Bitcoin, just co opt it to do the states bidding geopolitically. They knew the dollar was on borrowed time and core contributors are easy targets to turn. They clearly lack a principled stance to MAINTAIN Bitcoin
if you think devs can be under pressure, how to make them out of any pressure ?
Anonymity like nakamoto was ?
perhaps it is one of the tips

Competing implementations for running Bitcoin
you don't think too much implementation could be more source of bugs ?
and more security concern about block rules reject conditions ?
For the "stability" of the blockchain about long term vision ?
I think those are valid concerns. However, I think they are outweighed by ceding too much control to a spof in Core. One vulnerability could cripple the network
I agree, perhaps 2 "cores" software could work together and on their side too. Like a "pair" programming. each team code his software and verify the other team code, to check it stay compatible.
Like the browser competition to render website, devs team are speaking with the other browser team too...
