The point I think your missing is that "standing on your principals" is you behaving irrationally and emotionally because you bought into a narrative. You were manipulated. Stsly go look up what a useful idiot is, that's what you are (and that is what you have been this whole time unless you are a troll or are getting paid as an agent provacatouer).

Now the narratives you parrot are also in some form based on reality. That's why they are effective in manipulating people. It does suck that freedom tech is under attack, this is the fiat system defending it's corrupt self and it was inevitable and it will continue. I was hoping the recent actions of bip 110 leadership (hard forking and starting up a new shitcoin etc etc etc) would demonstrate to you and your ilk that they are grifters and liars and you are the exit liquidity and this has been the plan the whole time since luke ran to the feds after he got wrecked and mechanics gish gallop was pushed down your throat by Elon musk's government cutout algorithm. Imho you are in the bargaining stage of grief. Feels bad man.
