An increased use of anyone-can-spend (ACS) transactions in Bitcoin has potentially dangerous repercussions for its future.
DISCLAIMER: This is my current understanding, and as Drivechain evolves it might change.
Normal bitcoins cannot be stolen by anyone. You need the private key to spend them. Even a 51%+ coalition of miners cannot spend them (but they can censor them).

There are different reasons for different people.
The 9/11 false flag fooled quite a large number of people. One could say it fooled several countries (thanks to centralized ownership of mass media).
- If you took the early consensus stance as a celebrity (meaning, like most, you were fooled), it becomes very difficult for you to say anything on the topic of 9/11, simply because it's a point of embarassment and guilt.
- If you have a large following and use it to go against the mythmaker-narrative, you may become a target for harassament.

Belief confirmation (or belief perseverance) is a kind of confirmation bias.
Let's look at how this works with people who have taken Never Talk about Religion, Sex, or Politics to heart (a saying that has some truth to it, but is also misunderstood by some to apply to literally all situations).
- Person A hears, "Never Talk about Religion, Sex, or Politics", gets a superficial understanding about what the phrase means, and decides to follow this advice.
- They avoid having conversations about religion, sex, and politics, and thus never having their views challenged, become fairly ignorant about all of these subjects.
- Any time they do catch themselves having a conversation about any of these subjects, they are ridiculed because of their myopi

Whenever James Corbett takes a position on something, I pay attention.
Why? Because James is one of the few journalists worth paying attention to.
However, like everyone, James has his blind spots and biases. For James, an avowed anarchist, it's government (the good parts).
Today James tweeted an interview on an anti-Net Neutrality article by Jeffrey A. Tucker, who had this to say:

The following was sent to [bitcoin-dev] on October 9, 2017 under the subject "Generalized sharding protocol for decentralized scaling without Miners owning our BTC".
Dear list,
In previous arguments over Drivechain (and Drivechain-like proposals) I promised that better scaling proposals — that do not sacrifice Bitcoin's security — would come along.
