Then go ahead and fork your block size to 50kB. You're autonomous and you have the volition to choose the software you wish to interact with the economy you wish to participate in, and you just clearly and repeatedly said smaller blocks are better, so hard fork away from the temporarily imposed limit that Satoshi clearly said could be removed at a block height 400k+ blocks ago, because it was never a temporary limit at all, according to you, it's an individual limit that you're free to choose to set to whatever you believe it ought to be.

But of course, that's a lie, such a change would not be liquid with the rest of the economy, and you'd have forked yourself off into irrelevance, just as the fools who tried to set the 1mb temporary limit to permanent have done themselves. That they're too stupid to figure out they're on the wrong side is of zero consequence to the fact that they are.
