If you truly believe that, you are beyond hope. I am not sure you truly believe it, though. The miners being lobbied, and then colluding -- and BIP-110 failing in its initial goal -- are not mutually exclusive things, so it isn't a "lie" to suggest both of them might be true. One thing I have learned from all this is that Bitcoiners are not immune from "team joining syndrome," and often get irrationally attached to their "team" (and irrationally hate the opposing team) instead of thinking things through.
Another thing I've learned is that a protocol that is friendly to David Bailey's business model is not what we want, and is never going to end the rule of the fractional reserve parasites -- which should be our main and unalterable goal.
