Correct. I'm clearly assuming economic weight would also remain with current rules.
Then your assumption is the self-fulfilling prophecy that guarantees capture.
You acknowledge 23% run Knots (up from 1% in 2024). You admit Core v30 was merged against 93 NACKs. You concede PR #32406 benefited Citrea (per Todd). Yet you assume economic weight stays with Core because... reasons?
That's not analysis - that's Stockholm syndrome. "The abuser has always had power, therefore the abuser will always have power."
If Plan B Forum, Bitcoin Magazine, and OGs like you actually ran Knots instead of predicting defeat, the economic majority would shift. The "failure mode" you predict only happens if opinion leaders keep validating Core's capture while claiming to oppose it.
You can't simultaneously hate spam, refuse to run the software that filters it, and claim Bitcoin is "captured." You're not a hostage - you're a volunteer in Core's data landfill.
The economic majority follows credibility. If the anti-spam camp capitulates to Core v30, they deserve to lose.
Run Knots. Make the assumption false.
