When I want to buy an overpriced company I open locations or offices or sales teams at its fringes. Most companies cannot tolerate a 20% decline in sales. If you can cause a 20% decline in sales you can cause an 80% decline in purchase price. Mostly because talented people will flee to you. This is why you want free capital, and not to create too much debt or take too much profit. Most companies extract rents and profits and debt to the point where you can’t use capital to extract high ratio wins through acquisitions of people, operations, and customers at windfall discounts. The number of long established companies I have bought this way would astound you.

YES, THANK YOU WESTERN CIVILIZATION
—“The World’s Poorest People Are Getting Richer Faster. In 1820, 94% of the world’s population lived in extreme poverty. In 1990, 34.8%, and in 2015, just 9.6%.”–humanprogressorg
Yes. Yes. Thank you.
Thank you Western Civilization, for high trust people, heroism, individual sovereignty, rule of law, truth-jury-and-judiciary, markets in association, cooperation, reproduction, production, commons, and polities; reason, empiricism, science; freedom from poverty, starvation ….
… hard labor, child mortality, early death, disease, suffering, superstition ignorance, tyranny and the vicissitudes of nature. Yes, thank you Western Civilization for dragging humanity kicking and screaming into modernity against their will, and hating you every day for it.
Thank you Western Civilization, The Evil White Male, The Oppressor, The Colonialist, the Bringer of ending human suffering and the privilege of ridiculing those to whom your entire station is but a debt.

THE LEFT’S SEARCH FOR A WEDGE BETWEEN THEMSELVES AND REALITY – PARASITISM UPON THE PRODUCTIVE.
by Joe Foss
I listened to the Janice Fiamengo interview with Rubin you shared some time ago, and something she said struck me like a bell –
(link: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=Janice+Fiamengo+interview+with+Rubin&view=detail&mid=1CD3D47BB0FC4096C2F11CD3D47BB0FC4096C2F1&FORM=VIRE )
The push for indigenous studies is completely coherent with the mindset of the left. They prattle on about “indigenous ways of knowing” and other ways of making decisions, via anecdotes and Elders.
It’s a completely pagan, primitive, world view, which the left didn’t adopt, but gave birth to: received wisdom (elders), subjectivity (anecdotes, feelings), indigenous sciences (paganism).
They push it all as a wedge between themselves and reality, praying to whatever pagan deity to protect them from the consequences of their own actions (law), ignoring reality.
In that sense it is clear why they escalate and push for violence:
Their received wisdom tells them they are Good
They are incapable of seeing things from a different perspective
The very existence of a different perspective and way of life is an implied judgement which finds them lacking, and they have to remove judgement (law)
They are unable to conceive that nobody likes them, and how non cartoonish the violence will be when it comes.
