If you have a relative moral compass then your argument stands up. If you have a moral compass then your argument fails.
If I know my neighbor is doing something I don't like I don't have to broadcast his nonsense. It's not my moral duty to help him continue. If someone else broadcasts my neighbor's nonsense then that person is part of the cabal and they conspire together.
It's moral relativism that creates Fiat (literally by declaration -- "This is a transaction!", says the King.) That's what @jimmysong is saying. There may be situations in the future where electric companies tell miner pools that of they census transactions from public keys they will give them cheaper power.
The kilowatt is a measure of work. What you are willing to do as work is what the currency really is. This is why Karma (literally work in Sanskrit) is such a large spiritual concept.
Bitcoin is the ledger and it's the one we can write to and write on if we pay such and such price. If you are a miner Luke has given to a choice as none of the above.
But the way, Luke means light its root is Lux which is also the root for Lucifer. So there is that, too. But Luke does not mean Satan which is the Hebrew, Aramaic and Arab word for "opposition".

No one cares what you think. Don't like it? Don't use it. Don't tell others what to do.... Done, have a nice weekend!

Imagine calling yourself a Bitcoiner and not realizing Bitcoin has had "censorship" since day one.
Why is Bitcoin "censoring" my 5MB tx ?
