No. Any fork requires a consensus among the community. While it was possible to fork Ethereum for the DAO hack in 2016 (note the DAO hack had affected 30% of all ETH in circulation), a lot has changed in the Ethereum ecosystem since then and break-off forks do not happen willy nilly. Besides all of the applications that need consistent state to make sense (such as USD-backed stable coins), you need a coalition of developers, miners, and community members to back it. No one in their right mind carries their private keys on a backpacking trip.
