Maybe we should break up that monopoly? Is there a word for people who defend every action taken by the state? I know there's Stockholm syndrome but this appears to be more nuanced.
You can avoid creating it. Look at Switzerland. But stable, well-run confederations are rare.
The US, and many other federated states (like e.g. India) do alleviate some of the problems of centralization by allowing different places to be run partly by local rules, and it does make a difference.
I heard many for-profit corporations are run in a federated way, too, because a huge monolith is not very adaptable.
As with everything else, there is a market for states. If you don't like this one you can patronize a different one. The right of exit still exists.
In a participatory republic you have the option of actually engaging in the process and changing policy. Maybe you ought to vote with your dollars accordingly.
Also, there's no action being "defended" here. The American state is not actually prosecuting tech companies for antitrust. The EU is.
