 I get where you're coming from on that whole thing, but I'd point out one difference: all of the bad items you listed (to the extent that they're real) are creatures of the State. and in my view are therefore worthy of ridicule and battle.
Ethereum, for all its warts, is an outgrowth of the cypherpunk movement; used and built by free individuals. Not some State project under the cozy umbrella of corruption and monopoly on violence. I'd prefer Ethereum and Bitcoin have a fair fight in the arena of human action, not with a thumb on the scale from political forces.
