Satoshi himself predicted that the outcome is massive miners competing with each other globally. Idk what you guys are all on about, within the pools there's so many entities from all over the world....

Exactly. And one can see how easily those miners in the pool redistributed when China had it's last big ban, and miners fled the country.

When you zoom out, I see mining becoming more and more decentralized, not centralized. Home mining was barely a thing in the last cycle. Now it is not just reachable but its getting to a point where any consumer can just plug it in and walk away,

If people were that worried about mining, they'd push for DATUM, home mining, and simplification of nodes (more appliances).

All of this rhetoric is just rationalizing their drama.

The miner pools and the miners are not the same thing. The pools are far easier to capture, coordinate and centralize than the hashpower itself.
