Supporting knots is supporting him.
Discussion
It's possible to like the product without liking the producer
To be clear, I do like Luke, but I think the closest I've come to "supporting" him is the phrase "I do like Luke" in this sentence
And if that crosses the line for you, then I think your line is weirdly placed
Luke repeatedly picks a line that blocks existing privacy tech as his spam line.
Knots was created to block gambling and porn financial transactions.
Privacy and freedom are not a weird place to draw a line. I don't see anyway to profess to support Bitcoin and claim they are with a straight face.
I'd love to be shown in the source and config where it does either of these things.
Luke's off the rails with BIP 444, and I won't be running anything v30+.
But the Knots v27 I've been running for over a year does a nice job of what it says it does: refusing to relay ordinals, inscriptions, BRC-20 tokens, and OP_RETURNs over 40 bytes.
And, like any other Bitcoin implementation, letting you transact monetarily with whoever the fuck you want.
What Luke wants to do isn't particularly of importance. Not sure when bitcoiners decided personalities mattered more than code.

When their arguments stopped making sense
Paynym and whirlpool are both blocked by knots because they require data on chain and Luke set his threshold for what counts as spam too low.
So transact monetarily but only with no privacy.
Samourai (or Ashigaru) are hardly the only way to do Bitcoin privacy. Or, dare I say, the best, given that Joinmarket is still running strong.
Also trivial to up datacarriersize to 83 if you want it.
keep your little fat black fingers off the code, nigger.
