I don't think a flagday activation is smart. If a majority of nodes and hashpower like these restrictive consensus policies, thats just how consensus works. Fear is being utilized everywhere. "Aren't you afraid that the Knotzis are going to chainsplit?" "Aren't you afraid of CSAM on the blockchain?" "Aren't you afraid that BIP 110 opens the door for governments to control bitcoin by pushing a softfork?" "Aren't you afraid that your node will have to be a super computer to even validate transactions?" Everyone is being a fear monger. Sift through the noise and find the truth.
