Narrative Warfare: A Rumor On Dark Horse Comics & How Convergence May Kill It

Author Jon del Arroz reports on a rumor about Dark Horse Comics.

It is unfortunate that Dark Horse has gone down so far, but given how the convergence works in bending corporations to the Death Cult, it isn't surprising at all.

And as for how that happens, Vee took the time a while back to cut a video showing a 4chan post explaining just that.

The means is top-down, from the Venture Capitalist class: "Environmental, social and governance (ESG) refers to the three main areas of concern that have developed as central factors in measuring the sustainability and ethical impact of an investment in a company or business. These areas cover a broad set of concerns increasingly included in the non-financial factors that figure in the valuation of equity, real-estate, corporate, and fixed-income investments. ESG is the catch-all term for the criteria used in what has become known as socially-responsible investing. Socially responsible investing is among several related concepts and approaches that influence and, in some cases govern, how asset managers invest portfolios." (Full Official Story is here.)

Due to the massive billions--not an exaggeration--that Larry Fink (ESG mastermind) has at his disposal, he has removed the need for corporations to actually please the customers or audience they claim to serve. Instead, they serve him specifically and in return he lavishes them with funds to continue operating.

The conditions for this is obvious: institute Death Cult dogma and install Death Cult acolytes (i.e. willful Convergence). Couple this with fellow travelers in government bureaucracies, legislatures, and courts using State power to pick winners and losers, and you have a recipe for classic Italian Corporatism as the structure for International Fascism- the very "invisible empire" John Perkins wrote about in Confessions of an Economic Hit Man about 15 years ago. (That book, itself, is a Limited Hangout, by the way.)

As stated previously, both control over a converged company and the destruction of a targeted company are acceptable outcomes for the Death Cult. Therefore "Go Broke" is not a win for us unless the cost to replace what is destroyed is cheaper than the cost imposed by the Cult to destroy it, and it is this last detail that needs to be addressed before a full campaign of hijacking the enemy's brainmeats to induce them to self-destruct what they hold can commence towards a useful end.

Dark Horse, as with the rest of the American comics industry, is either directly or indirectly in the thrall of the ESG regime. Destruction of these companies is acceptable to the Death Cult, especially one with little original property in its property profile like Dark Horse.

Along with companies like IDW, the ESG cohort would rather write these off and shut them down than throw more money after them; they would rather concentrate comics as a business into DC and Marvel, which have use as IP farms for more profitable and popular media (film/TV and videogames) while giving sinecures to acolytes who either are or may become useful agents.

Now that we have a money trail identified, we have something to track down and map to the emergence or acceleration of an institution's convergence, so watch out for Dark Horse's bidders and what they promise to bring to the table.

If they push ESG, then they need to be shitposted at and memed upon until they relent. In the meantime, we need to spread the word about alternatives; Japanese manga are already eating converged comics like ravenous pirahna, so we should concentrate on promoting European comics (the B-D market) that are clean as well as original independents (which, yes, means Arkhaven and Comicsgate among others).

Dark Horse may not have what it takes to turn themselves around without needing ESG funding or licensed comics sales, and if so that's a shame, but better to die with dignity than to be turned into a Death Cult zombie.
