"In reality, we as conservatives must rebuild everything. Banking, grocery, cell phone service, and more. We need to separate from progressivism completely."

That is happening. People were paying attention to what Amazon did to Parler, and the smart ones won't make that mistake again.

But I can almost guarantee that the bigger it gets, the Left is going to use lawfare to try and stop it (first), then actual violence.

Agreed. We do have to keep in mind though that we have many among us who aren’t going to take the initiative and get off of big tech themselves. This is a big problem that manifests itself in all visible areas of life. It sometimes take a Trump or an Andrew Breitbart to get people to MOVE. I remain more convinced than ever that the only reason conservatives got out by the millions and protested in the 2010 Tea Parties was because of Andrew.

Even to this day, I find from time to time that there are conservatives out there with subscriptions to this or that newspaper and that includes the NY Slimes. I don’t get it.

On the other side, there is a conservative cell phone provider out there (I forget the name at the moment) yet they aren’t a massive and now prominent provider. Why is that? That’s our fault and nobody else’s.

We have our own wikipedia. Is it widely used? Nope.

We could easily be doing damage to big tech. Apple, Microsoft, Twitter, Google, all of them are in easily damageable positions, yet I am not aware of any major movement among conservatives to move off Android to Linux phones. Ditto for iphones, macs, and windows.

It needs to happen and I agree it will happen, but its going to take way more time than it should unfortunately. This is a big and daunting challenge.
