Why did you say it's political sides ? I hope Bitcoin and Monero want the same thing : Freedom & Privacy. Honestly, I knew Bitcoin around 10 years ago, it was different, there wasn't KYC, Chainalysis, regulations, mining centralization by big companies, LN, altcoins... people where in Bitcoin for the use of it, and it was great, but what Bitcoin today is far different, not in the good way. Bitcoin was created to empower people, to make us free financially (not about NGU), to give us sovereignty over our own money. It was designed as a tool not an asset. Cypherpunks ever wanted to create an anonymous electronic cash system, Bitcoin is not anonymous, probably Satoshi didn't found how to do that, it was maybe too early. Monero succeed where Bitcoin failed and there is no hate on this words, it's just a fact, I'm not against Bitcoin especially, people on the DN are using Bitcoin lesser and lesser for a reason. People need to understand the risk of censorship is real on Bitcoin, I'm not saying you need to sell all your btc for xmr, it's just about the possibilities
