"Remove legal protections that have allowed for Big Tech's monopolies..." Sounds great. How do we do this? Who is going to do this? The politicians who keep getting elected thanks to these monopolies? Courts run by judges who want to make it in politics (by doing what politicians must do to get elected)?
A constitutional convention at this point would be opening PandoraтАЩs box. No. There is only one appropriate response to tyranny and it isnтАЩt peaceful.
I agree with you both. Unfortunately, I donтАЩt believe there are enough individuals in place / in office who can be trusted to uphold Constitutional nuance as the Fathers intended As Danway implies, I too believe that change will have to be a matter of force....I live in UT (*NOT* mormon) and the avg Joe on the ground is a classic Constitutional conservative. But the legislative body here is chalked full of dirty rinos, most of them ignorant as fuc# as to the depth of depravity of the Left (there is a deep ignorance, a willful naivety that permeates the culture in UT secondary to the тАШstate religionтАЩ cum cult). These are truly useful idiots, mocked in reality by those they venerate. IтАЩm a lifelong CAfornian, grew up in LA - the true Left would eat these pathetic rinos for breakfast. And many of these rinos take marching orders from the state religious corporation. All this to say that even in states considered Red / truly conservative, the nature of the game is dead. The Republic, from where I stand, is too far gone
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.-That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,-That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles sand organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. Prudence, indeed will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. Usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object evinces a design to reduce [Us] under absolute Despotism, it is [Our] right, it is [Our] DUTY to throw off [this] Government, and to provide new Guards for [Our] future security.-Such has been the patient sufferance of [this Nation]; and such is now the necessity which constrains [Us] to alter [Our current] Systems of Government.

There is no peaceful solution.
Prepare.
