Just as a PSA to anyone that has money in any stocks right now: retail investors piling into counter trades of institutional investors is one of the biggest and most obvious red flags of the bubble being on the verge of popping that you'll probably ever get. Hedge and take (some) profit for Christ's sake.

You might've noticed that this situation isn't about making a profit for most people.

I hate to burst anyone's bubble, but I've noticed a theme being brought up a lot and I feel that I should correct the issue. Occupy Wall Street was at no point a grassroots movement. From the very beginning, it was intended as a counter to the Tea Party movement.

For those that weren't old enough to be paying attention to politics at the time, the Tea Party was an anomaly. In 2009, a bunch of people started protesting. That isn't unusual, people protest all the time. What was unusual was the type of people that were protesting. Most of the Tea Party was middle-aged working class people, which is a group that never protests. Protesters are always young college aged kids. BLM, Capital riots, Occupy Wallstreet; all young college kids. The reason the Tea Party was so threatening is because they were people that don't protest.

The Tea Party was a resounding success, which caused the Democrats to lose 63 seats in the house. 63 seats. I want reiterate that, 63 seats. 63. Barack Obama himself referred to the 2010 midterm election as a "shellacking". This was a huge problem for the people on the right side of history. Occupy Wallstreet was developed as the solution.

Occupy Wallstreet was intended as a counter to the Tea Party, and with the backing of numerous billionaires and the media it worked at first. You see, several years after the subprime mortgage crisis, people suddenly decided they were mad about it and weren't going to stand for it anymore. Unfortunately, everyone underestimated how dumb upper class college kids are so the movement very quickly devolved in a clusterfuck and became a total embarrassment, accomplishing nothing.

I hate to break it to you, but Occupy Wallstreet was an astroturfed joke from the very beginning.

No that's not how it went down.

Occupy started out as a grassroots movement, full of what we'd call Bernie Bros now. Lefties but not complete bugmen.

It was overrun by danger hairs and assorted other soy infested faggots in short order and collapsed like a bag of shit on a hot day. For sure that was planned, the woke left are mostly a collection of corporate sponsored Bourgeois fucktards after all.

The same thing happened with the Tea Party. Starting out as a protest against the bailouts but was taken over by GOP Inc and got lost in the weeds of conservatard nonsense.

It's not that either of these movements started out as astro turfed optical narratives (BLM) but for sure they both ended up that way.

How about don't refer to yourself as a working class poor American and cry about it on the internet, when apparently you're not fucking poor if you can spend money on the fucking stock market.

All types of people from every background are involved in this you mongoloid. I know poor guy that bought a single share when it was ~50, I know another guy that bought 200$ worth a bit later, and a third that bought 1k worth (his tax return cash) just a few minutes after him. One of those is poor and unemployed, another is a self employed carer for family, and the third is in the chairforce. None of them are fucking rich. 1 of has debt, and another barely staying out of it.

Grow the fuck up, retard.
