If node runners don't want to relay transactions from tainted coins, should they?

They have the option to filter anything they want from their mempool, but the neat part about bitcoins censorship resistance is "tainted coins" are easily bypassed with fees. And mining pools that censor, the market has an incentive to respond by pulling hashrate. Doesnt always happen, of course. But this conversation has nothing to do with monetary transactions, youre just grasping at strawmen

And there lies the issue, if the principle of censorship can be applied to "non monetary transactions" whatever that means , why couldn't it be applied to monetary ones

And there lies the issue: You conflate a system that NEEDS to be engineered to optimize for a single use case (money) with censorship. Youre parroting very dumb and lazy propaganda. You dont know what non-monetary transactions are? Transactions where bitcoin isnt being used for the monetary network it was built as. Stop taking talking points from Jameson Lopp lmao he wont give you a job

Explain what a non monetary transaction on Bitcoin looks like? If there are sats changing hands, that is a monetary transaction.

You know damn well what a non-monetary transaction is. And the "fees will outprice spammers" actually doesnt seem so obvious when you think about it for more than a few seconds. Theres already precedence for that

No I don't, show me one. It's fun arguing this bc the Knotzis think I'm a spammer and the core-munists think I'm a Luke acolyte. I actually think neither side has a fully flushed out argument
