You both misunderstand.

What has desertfreedom765 ever done? What has Twotone ever done? That’s the issue. I’m not talking about Mr. Elon Musk, the people behind Parler, or any others.

I’m talking about you, desertfreedom765, and Twotone. What have you personally done? You personally right there at your desk, in your home, that is the issue.

Done? In what way? I’ve been an upright, law-abiding, tax-paying citizen. I vote, I write to my representatives, I donate to what I believe are good organizations. I volunteer, I’ve been involved in campaigns of people I believed were worthy of certain political positions. I’ve never been greatly ambitious & have not amassed great wealth. I suppose I could’ve done more. But what has that got to do with anything?

We are faced with corporations (& individuals) that have accrued great wealth & power & they are using it to undermine the constitution & our way of life. Someone, somewhere, somehow, needs to throw a monkey wrench into their machinations. I assume it will be done constitutionally, else-wise the malefactors will take them to court & stop the action. For that matter, these people are using lawfare to bankrupt our side, & the courts are no longer reliable protectors of the nation.

Once again...how are these people to be stopped?

“I often advocate that we as conservatives need to get the hell off of these big tech platforms - and start using Linux. Linux on our computers, and Linux on our cell phones.

We can absolutely, on our own, without big beloved government, defeat these big tech companies.”

You have no idea of what you are talking about.

Before I retired, I installed/ran multiple Linux servers at my old company. I have been using Linux since the mid/late 90’s (long before it was cool).

While Linux helped break Microsoft’s monopoly they are still dominate in business and on the desktop and that will not change in our lifetime.

It certainly won’t change the media/information monopoly that is controlled by leftists oligarchs.

Anti-Trust is a legitimate tool to restore balance to the economy and media.
