Hey I have a serious question to the Monero community.
So after I realized that Dash is potentially inferior in every aspect, perhaps except the community aspect, but Monero is getting more mainstream too nowadays. And we know Zcash and others are bad too.
So Monero has all the cool features, privacy, anonymity, decent community (not full of shills and trolls) and a pretty good research and development team.
But there is 1 issue with Monero, a big one: SCALING
Why the hell does Monero align itself with the retarded small blocker camp? The more I research it, the more obvious it is to me that the small blockers in Bitcoin, Bitcoin Core, have just done horrible damage to Bitcoin's scalability and adoption (literally over 80% of the world earns less daily income than your BTC tx fee). In fact I think some Core developers have worked in Monero, so there is some tight alliance there.
I have heard some rumors about adding Segwit or something similar to Monero, when if you do any research on it, it clearly shows how inferior it is the soft fork segwit, it creates this colored coin environment controlled by the miners. We do bash Dash for it's masternode setup, but for some reason Segwit controlled by the miners is not a big deal.
Look I am no technical expert but every evidence points towards big blocks being the good scaling solution.
Can somebody, an expert, explain to me clearly and honestly why Monero does not go with the big block strategy?

As JW pointed out Monero has Dynamic Scaling so we have no clue what your talking about when you say aligning ourselves with a small block "Side". Monero Devs may work with core Devs but thats because out of most alts Monero Devs are the ones that Core Devs take serious.
Monero takes no position on BTC it is it's own coin.
Just another day in you data is not safe land, here's one for all you guys who want to use android wallets and run your Linux boxes over WPA2.

As a proof-of-concept we executed a key reinstallation attack against an Android smartphone. In this demonstration, the attacker is able to decrypt all data that the victim transmits. For an attacker this is easy to accomplish, because our key reinstallation attack is exceptionally devastating against Linux and Android 6.0 or higher. This is because Android and Linux can be tricked into (re)installing an all-zero encryption key (see below for more info). When attacking other devices, it is harder to decrypt all packets, although a large number of packets can nevertheless be decrypted. In any case, the following demonstration highlights the type of information that an attacker can obtain when performing key reinstallation attacks against protected Wi-Fi networks:
