There are generally people dispersed at either end of the spectrum, with a few at the most extreme ends. The most difficult job is that of philosophers and intellectuals to work through the screeching and pull meaningful data and thought from the pool of chaos. We need more intellectuals.

Sounds like something a corrupt, compromised, bad acting retard would say 👀… CHECKMATE

Never go full retard

If one is speaking against something they know to be true, for personal benefit at the detriment of others then I promise you on all your sats, that my friend is a bad actor.

Right! We shouldn’t expect “computer guys” to be Philosophically astute also lmao. They are memed to be programming in the shadows of a basement for a reason. #botcoin #runbip110 #runknots

Motte and Bailey. Your premise is false. This isn't just about spam. Or even csam. The response is not just to spam. The network is being attacked from within with the same capture tactics we should all be familiar with by now. That's much bigger than the spam itself. When you downplay like this you are participating in the motte and bailey. Perhaps unintentionally, you are taking a side by downplaying and neutralizing the response. In charity, perhaps you don't know what you are doing. But you do keep pushing their rhetoric and now you are doing their motte and bailey work for them. If your intention is to not take a side, don't. But you serving one side very clearly, intentionally or not. Have you ever seen institutional capture from the inside or up close? Weaponizing ideology with sophistry. "Filtering is censorship" "What even is money" Sinecures for loyal incompetents Funding for collaborators Weaponized process like stalling PRs Entryism and brigading... And finally the motte: "Hey don't over react, retard, it's just a little spam". I don't think the people fighting back are the retards. The response is to a much more serious problem than a mere spam issue. This is about defending Bitcoin from something powerful enough to commandeer almost every institution of our society. Schools, medicine, courts... If you let them play motte and baily, they win. Only a full reversal of what they did (and didn't do) will stop the march. Course correction is critical. Knots broke node software out of capture. 110 corrects for the gaps that were opened, the fixes that were neglected and mitigations that were removed. This necessary to shut capture down and send the bad actors back to shitcoin land. They can do smoking monkeys and world computers on solana. Bitcoin is money. Honest money is an existential issue. The network must stay secure and decentralized. That is what this is about. "Don't overreact to spam" is a bullshit take. Thats not what this is about. The frame is false. Failure to respond decisively would be "retarded."
