Critique of Bitcoin's Anti-Censorship Stance Shift

The speaker criticizes the perceived hypocrisy of some 'OG Bitcoiners' who, while historically advocating for anti-censorship, are now pushing for measures that equate to censorship. This shift is seen in their support for actions that restrict certain uses of the Bitcoin network, such as ordinals and token spam.

This is the problem though, right? Like, you know, when someone is doing something that you don't like, it's very easy to say, I am a freedom fighter and I'm stopping the bad guys from doing a thing, right?
Then you become the dictator and someone tries to do something that you don't like, and you're like, well, no, not like that, man.
It's, but at its core, it's just it's straight censorship. And so to see these sort of like OG Bitcoiners really flip the script on themselves from being like these OG guys who are anti-censorship to, uh, really pushing something that's 100% censorship.
