Maybe this was more difficult during the blocksize wars (though not really, everyone including myself sold their bcrash as soon as they got it) because during that time, high transaction fees meant it was hard to use Bitcoin and that was meant to convince people to increase the blocksize.
This time, we can just ignore the high transaction fees with our lightning network channels and muse over shitcoiners paying for our network security.
This should be a clear signal to shitcoiners. Bitcoin is a social construct first, software second and that social construct is around money. Sure its possible to use it for other things, but protocol upgrades will only be considered by the wider community if the upgrade is in regards to security, ease of transactions, or easier storage of funds. Attempts to update the software for reasons outside of that scope will only be laughed at as not part of the purpose of the social construct.
Not to mention, most bitcoiners are not using ordinals, whereas everyone was affected by high tx fees back then.
This is definitely a war they will never win and if they go through with it, it'll be another on the list of worthless forks.

This so much
Also, actually, I am pretty hyped for a fork now. I barely missed the BCH fork.
So I never experienced a hard fork in bitcoin. Maybe I will now haha
