I mean, I've got machines, but I don't have Microsoft's bank account, can't they leverage that in infrastructure, regulations to roll over that.

I feel like I've had a similar conversation when I was talking to someone arguing that the 2nd amendment was imperative for citizens to defend themselves against the government. Like bro, how is your shotgun winning against an aircraft carrier.

The 2nd amendment was meant to allow for guerrilla warfare against a government which didn’t want to wipe out the entire population which was sympathetic to the rebels. This context mirrors what the US states had in their war of independence.

For all other kinds of wars, yes, the government can crush you. That was true even in the 1700s, and has only gotten more true today.
