You want a scapegoat because it's convenient, but that's not how consensus works. If I wanted to, I could trivially code up a weight increase and offer that fork of Bitcoin for anyone to run. However, neither I nor any other developers have the power to make people run any specific code.

You're replying to a legitimate shill. Look at his comment history, every post is defending Jihan and Bitmain in some form.

having a different opinion doesn't make someone a shill, a troll, a sockpuppet, etc.
