Most people are deeply demoralized by the lies they are propagandized to swallow. The truth would set them free, but they fear it. They'd rather be the doorkeeper at an acceptable institution than ruler of their own castles.

Hard forks are a clever way for investors (VCs, mostly) to exit losing investments. They'll run the same playbook as they did with ZCash, just watch.

The reality of the left is that most of their activists/supporters are paid in one way or another by fiat money printing, so the right has no chance from within the system. The only way out is through.
