"Especially the supposedly Jewish financial order"

Either the banks actually are Jewish and they deserve everything that's coming to them for manipulating the monetary system for centuries, or the banking establishments aren't actually Jewish in any way and you need to shut your fucking mouth about "Muh Antisemitism".

You've got to pick One option and stick to it.

I have zero idea about these things but won't many people lose a lot of money? Say for simplicity that those big cats bought 1K of shares or whatever you call them and meme lords bought 100K. What happens to the rest of 99K when big cats buy back 1K from those who'll sell first?
Lets say that in your example, there are 100k shares in total. The elites borrowed 150k shares (50k non-existant ones, its a complex construction) and already sold them. They were hoping the price of the shares would go down so they could buy those cheap shares and give them back to the person they borrowed from. The elites have overextended an insane amount. Tomorrow is the due date for those borrowed shares and if the price is more than they sold them for, they will be forced to buy at a massive loss. For every $ that the Gamestop shares are above 20$, the elites will lose a ton.
 
Can someone explain why Friday is a big deal for this? I know absolutely nothing about stocks.
The short comes due; Essentially, Melvin, the hedge fund, borrowed a ton of stock and sold them at a low price- on Friday, they'll be obligated to return the number of stocks to the original holder. If the price goes up, they lose out hard, and at the moment, they're obligated to the tune of billions.

Are these stocks that have been discussed on wsb, or are the elites signaling what they have prepared to make money on?
