I think prior to 2020 the majority of people who used or supported bitcoin held the common opinion of an inclusive, permission-less, global currency that preserved value.
Since then I think there are many bitcoiners who appreciate the aspect of no inflation and number go up, but are fine with permission.
This has lead the community to think there are two teams, SoV vs. MoE(Or who is allowed to use bitcoin). Parker correctly points out that these two attributes are symbiotic and one doesn't survive without the other, but it still won't stop "bitcoiners" from trying to make layer two permission systems on top of bitcoin and keep fiat permission alive.
Facts, very bullish on community UTXO's.
It would be amazing if the base layer scaled to everyone (from an inclusion perspective) but of course that's not possible.
I think lightning right now is still very open and permission-less, but I get the feeling that we will see many L2 projects to legitimize fiat and shitcoins on top of bitcoin, or corral sats into permissioned systems.
"A table can be overturned and a window can be smashed. However, those who believe that the state is also a thing or a fetish that can be overturned or smashed are sophists and believers in the Word. The state is a social relationship; a certain way of people relating to one another. It can be destroyed by creating new social relationships; i.e., by people relating to one another differently"

I find the information overwhelming for most if not in the right context. I just try to be ready to give a meaningful answer. when someone is ready to listen they will tell you.
