Eh it’s the same way a protection racket doesn’t threaten your business. They are just protecting you from those that would do you harm but you have to pay them to get their protection…who knows what sort of bad things might happen to you and who might be the authors of those bad things in the future.

If you want to play semantical games that’s fine, but please don’t ignore the intentions of these scum bag bootlickers.

e.g. your neighbor business warning you "I think they may get violent if you don't pay the protection" is not a threat from the neighbor business.

In which case they are part of the protection racket. We must assume the neighboring business is funding the protection racket just as we must assume that these soft forkers are agents of the legal/moral consequence bringers. While they may claim to be unwilling agents they are doing the work to undermine Bitcoin regardless of their stated intention.

The fact that their threats are based on dubious legal theory and have no basis in reality is strong evidence that they are willing agents of the state and not helpful neighbors.

That’s how protection rackets work. They don’t just target one business…they target the neighborhood. Anyone paying the racket is funding their operations.

A soldier who loads the weapons that are used to kill civilians is liable for the war crime…perhaps not as much as the ones ordering the killings but they are part of the immoral machinery. Ignorance or fear do not absolve you of guilt.
