 Less insults, more thoughtful posts would do your prerogative more justice.  Cozy couch larpers are the only people who could think differently than you?

There is a gradient upon which the subjective perspective of censoring/filtering lies.  Pricing people out of the main-chain is just forcing people to 2nd layers for smaller amounts, as was always expected to happen all the way back to Hal Finney and Satoshi.  People should be able to put whatever they want on the chain if they are willing to pay for it.  It is the most secure, immutable database in the world.  

People can also decide they don't like some/most transaction and mine only KYC transactions.  This is their perogotive.  

Eventually, some of these people will take the next step of trying to hijack the network to normalize "filtering" for only tyrannical govt approved transactions.  This is the true threat to network access, not a few dollars for main-chain transactions.  Were you around in 2017?
