This sounds rather like Rule 2: Don't just Boycott, Compete! If I was a beer drinker, I'd definitely be looking into entering the beer business. If I were to do so, I'd look into alternatives to hops as a bittering agent. Hops are estrogenic, and we have been gurlimanificated too much as it is. Some years back I read that the Catholic Church had a monopoly on a beer recipe which used other bittering agents, that hops were a way to bypass this church tax.
Opportunity awaits!

Alas, some of the other flags are expensively guarded. The most important flags fly over the schools and colleges. Starting a new college is not cheap. The satanic Left is expert in taking over endowment funds.
Indeed. Competition is important. But simply building a “parallel economy” only delays the inevitable. We need to cultivate the capability to take and hold extant power centers (or “flags”).
When competing, go for excellence, not mere parallels. Make the woke corporations be the fringe products advertised in Mother Jones.
Legacy corporations tend to be overoptimized for monetization. That makes them vulnerable. Facebook is particularly terrible. Meanwhile, Hollywood is destroying once fun franchises.

I certainly like what DeSantis is doing with the Florida university system. I fear it takes political takeover in order to fix the university system in general. Taking endowment funds away from the Left strikes me has next to impossible. Better to discourage endowments in general. Charity should be an ongoing thing.

One power center we should really go after is retirement funds. Workers have little control over their 401(k)s. They are forced into mutual funds which then vote their shares. Methinks such mutual funds should be forbidden to vote shares -- on antitrust grounds alone. Corporations should be controlled by those who commit, not index funds or sector funds.

I like the work Strive is doing in the 401k/corporate governance space.
