So which is your type? Intellectual or conquerer/mass murderer?
Yes, I am continuously surprised by the depth and breadth of anarchist thinking (and doing!) in the late 19th / early 20th century. Anarchism was much more widespread then.
So much fascinating history has been mostly supressed. It's almost as if some people don't want you to know how close anarchism came to the mainstream for a while there.
...or to escape the devise suffix trap with a prefix, Meta-anarchy. I didn’t know it had such a deep history though.

Anarcho-totalitarianism: The regime monitors and controls your every action to make sure you are 100% free. If you are ever coerced, you will be forcibly uncoerced.
52 tweets is nothing... Twitter and Facebook routinely remove thousands of posts that express anti-zionist views at the request of the Israeli government, without even a court order.
Just last week, Israel's ridiculous supreme court decided this practice is constitutional, because SOME of the posters MAY be bots, and thus don't have human rights :-D
I kid you not.
Governments and big tech control your every thought. Don't let them. Opt out and use decentralized tech.

But the bigger issue is, I think miners do control the protocol. 51% of miners decide what Bitcoin is, that's part of the original design. They can certainly force protocol changes.
I agree than in practice, miners follow the price, but they *should* have a longer view of what is good for Bitcoin (for the good of their own long term profit).
Not exactly, a soft cap is a decision by the majority of miners not to accept blocks from *other* miners above a certain size, despite the protocol allowing such blocks.

Correct me if im wrong.

Once you get that kind of power, you can hardcode any arbitrary block size limit you want... 1MB was always just a convenience.
The real issue is whether *anyone* should get to decide to arbitrarily limit throughput. Satoshi did, but only because he naively believed this kind of decision can be kept temporary.
Bitcoin's weakness, as we found out in 2015-2017, is people. When core got most of the community and economic weight behind their crazyness, the miners followed.

Ultimately, Core were only able to do the damage they did by getting miners on their side.

Sure, but I've always found this distinction mostly meaningless. If a majority of miners want to, they can define what Bitcoin is (including hardforking).

The beautiful idea behind Bitcoin is that block generators decide which and how many txs to put into blocks according to their own selfish considerations,
and this works out to everyone's favor (as long as they're motivated by profit, rather than a desire to destroy Bitcoin).
The conceptual issue here is far more important than the number of MBs. This is why people who think BCH is about 8/32/128MB blocks piss me off. They're essentially identical to core.

The core people didn't just change some number into some other number. They replaced Bitcoin's free-market appraoch to block generation with a centrally-mandated quota system.

The important point is, there was never supposed to be a block size limit *at all*. It was, according to Satoshi's own words when he introduced it, a temporary hack.

I think you're focusing on the wrong aspect of this... There was a de facto 1MB limit since 2010, however you want to call it. The 32MB limit was never relevant.

*Never ever* believe anything MEMRI says. They are masters of mistranslation and decontextualization. These zionist psyops propagandists will stop at nothing to make Muslims look bad.
Transparent moderation = acceptable, desired
private moderation = unacceptable
Censorship = unacceptable
Even transparent moderation can and should be opt-in (e.g. filters: anyone can post anything, but I can choose not to see certain things).
Just got a 12 hour suspension from Twitter for saying the government has no right to enforce tyrannical laws and that the government can "eat shit and die".
I find this level of censorship unacceptable
If you find *any* level of censorship acceptable, if you use a censorable platform to begin with, you don't get to complain when the censorship exceeds your particular sensibilities.
