We call this "cutting tall poppies" in Australia.
I've always appreciated this story as an explanation for anyone who finds the concept foreign.

Fair call. I only just got the community update so I hadn't seen it.
My MY21 Hyundai Kona feels like a normal car without all those extra features. Lots of tactile buttons, there's a headphone jack/USB. It's really just a regular car with an EV engine.
I have four tyres in pretty good condition on my car, that's $1000 right there.
My guess. Dud was just totally disconnected from reality. He isn't that smart and didn't understand how badly he'd fucked up.
Mmmhmm I know some of those words. Chan boards always make me feel like such a Normie.
Of course. It's a Murdoch newspaper they're the shittiest of shit tier capitalists.
The most obvious sign of a deeply embedded dogma is to think that picking the status quo is not an ideological act.
I was playing some Everspace 2 and while it sure is pretty and feels pretty good there was something lacking that I couldn’t quite put my finger on. I’m only 20 hours or so into it but I just felt like it wasn’t quite living up to my memories of Freelancer.
Now I last played Freelancer over 15 years ago so I was sure that I was just seeing this through a heavy mist of nostalgia, so I reinstalled the old game, installed the HD mod and a few other user made tweaks and loaded it up. The opening scenes were definitely nostalgic but once I started to fly missions properly again it became crystal clear, nope Freelancer still kicks the shit out of every other space game I’ve ever played since.
Elite Dangerous, Rebel Galaxy Outlaw, Everspace 2, Spacebourne 2, EVE Online, (edit adding more I’ve played here: Chorus, Star Citizen, No Mans Sky) they all have strengths but nothing feels as good as the grand daddy Freelancer.
90% of people now share just 7% of wealth growth an inversion of the norm in 1950 – 1960.
We're now trying pump and dump capitalism
