Your point on moral compass and intentions is well taken but I do believe almost all the arguments and accusations thrown around morality over in bitcoin right now are just strawman arguments as someone else pointed out. Has any of the accusitions been proven beyond circumstantial evidence or assumptions? Normally using morality as a first filter is a sound idea. But in this instance, there is so much noise, it certainly feels like an easy accusation to discredit any and all opinions from the other side.
My point in all of this is yes, we have core vs bip110 right now but both camps are bitcoiners. The world isn't going to agree on any one thing, that's a fact. But the reality of the world today is the bigger war is fiat vs bitcoin. The infighting has to stop.

“Core are Bitcoiners” is a bold claim that I’m note sure it will hold against scrutiny. Some of them don’t even own bitcoin or run nodes, but their actions reflect on all of us. We don’t have to prove with 100% certainty that certain actors in the space are crooks or compromised. We’re not prosecutors. We’re all operating in this network that lowers the bar for trust but it doesn’t eliminate it entirely. We’re perfectly fine filling the gaps based on our instincts of what is good or bad.
