/r/wsb autists taking on a wallstreet hedgefund. Elon musk involved as always / wallstreetbets / gamestop - Gamergate 2: financial boogaloo

The fact that "meme stock" is an actual phrase being seriously used by financial websites fills me with a unique kind of joy.

Wall street didn't engineer the collapse of Occupy Wall street, they just learned from it. The left is completely incapable of standing up to the idpol types and those toxic faggots will ruin any attempt to organize or make any positive changes in society.

I don't think its leftists that are taking part in this thing. There doesnt seem to much of an ideology beyond fuck wallstreet which is pretty uniting

Nothing they did was illegal. They all discussed this openly on Reddit and Discord.

Essentially the hedgefunds were caught with their pants down. Usually the reverse happens where they'll temporarily tank the stock to trigger a sell off and fuck over the small fish that were using margins.

“Do you understand what I'm saying?" shouted Moist. "You can't just go around killing people!"

"Why Not? You Do." The golem lowered his arm.

"What?" snapped Moist. "I do not! Who told you that?"

"I Worked It Out. You Have Killed Two Point Three Three Eight People," said the golem calmly.

"I have never laid a finger on anyone in my life, Mr Pump. I may be–– all the things you know I am, but I am not a killer! I have never so much as drawn a sword!"

"No, You Have Not. But You Have Stolen, Embezzled, Defrauded And Swindled Without Discrimination, Mr Lipvig. You Have Ruined Businesses And Destroyed Jobs. When Banks Fail, It Is Seldom Bankers Who Starve. Your Actions Have Taken Money From Those Who Had Little Enough To Begin With. In A Myriad Small Ways You Have Hastened The Deaths Of Many. You Do Not Know Them. You Did Not See Them Bleed. But You Snatched Bread From Their Mouths And Tore Clothes From Their Backs. For Sport, Mr Lipvig. For Sport. For The Joy Of The Game.”

He's talking about Occupy in particular, I think. I'm pretty sure nobody with a brain thinks this is the kind of "politically motivated" that comes from right or left. This is what "punching up" used to mean, before it was a phrase co-opted by useful idiots who are servile to the people currently looking forward to the world's most awkward free colonoscopy.

While I hope for the unity people see in this at most I think some people will loss the tiny bit of media trust they have after seeing the mental gymnastics to condemn wallstreetbets and promote Wall Street. Even that’s probably to optimistic considering what people eat up and the calls of hate speech and doxxing that has worked on some already. I am here for the laughs anyway and GameStop being an Integral part of fucking rich elites out of billions is good enough for me.

It's going to be in the history books. Remember that. "Meme stock" is going to be in the glossary of all future economics history books to come.

It shows that living through a history book doesn't have to be all gloom and doom or riots and pandemics. Sometimes you need to squeeze some historically significant autism into the pages to spice things up for the kids learning in 2100 and beyond. It gives them something to bring to their imagination.

If this thread is any indicator of enjoyment, I'm sure people learning about this decades and beyond will get a kick out of it whether it be just a bathroom reader fun fact or its own history class presentation.
