Balaji Srinivasan says that "(toxic) Bitcoin maximalism is a capitalist version of woke". Not in ideas, but in strategy how to spread it. Tim Urban calls it low mind in his book What's our problem (recommended read) - not in opinions, but in enforced compliance (ostracization, forced culture, ...).
I liked this take by Jameson Lopp: https://blog.lopp.net/history-of-bitcoin-maximalism/ which you can now also hear in audio form on Bitcoin Audible: https://pca.st/episode/cf3eb443-18a9-41af-93e3-ccdee0fc7c9c
While I do not agree with everything, I highly recommend to read it, or in my case, listen to it.
