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

We've barely cleared the first fucking week of Biden and already we have what amounts to an economic rebellion. This year is already amazing.


Can someone tell me if this fucks over china? I remember seeing something to that effect way back in here.

Could you imagine this being the thing that just... derails everything good and bad?
 
Gamergate is where the timeline diverged and we entered the clownworld. Of course it all comes back to ethics in games journalism

I couldn't ask to be stuck here with a more autistic group of fuckwits, mind
I completely missed the first GooberGrape. I'm glad I got to catch the sequel as it happened.
 
Western civilization has been in a consistent decline since WW1 imo.
are you even old enough to get a discount on your car insurance? you could easily argue without french rev, wwi don't happen, and without murrikan rev, french rev don't happen, etc
focus on what's in front of you; you aren't gonna save ferdinand anytime soon. but you might be able to save the world from gamergate's evil machinations by holding GME
FTFY

(The actual big bang, not the shitty TV show. But also the shitty TV show.)
I dunno, I think when something like a third or fourth of people died before age five was a high point for western civilization. dae feel like they were born in the wrong century??
 
So Gamestonk only 25 dollars below yesterday's close in after-hours trading this evening. How much cocaine is being railed right now to come up with ideas to break the hold tomorrow, after today didn't work out so well for the hedgies

Genuinely interesting to see what they come up with, gonna be a long and glorious day of stonk warfare in the trenches
What can they do, short of more blatant fuckery to make themselves even more hated, to avert their doom?
 
It looks like corpos still think that they'll glom themselves onto the woke. This random article I found fucking mentions Kpop retards and Tiktokkers, an enormous majority of whom are underage and probably 99% of whom don't own any stock. It's a random-ass fucking paean to make. Article also fails to mention why people are holding the shares, so it looks like it's angled at normie retards who think they can buy into the stock, hold it forever, and make infinite money.
whats a "gamergate"
heard about a little event called world war 2? they were behind it, hitler wanted the high score
WW1 was when the United States decided to start intervening in pretty much every conflict in the world. It set the precedent for our involvement in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria.
Don't go sleeping through high school history if you want to make statements like that. The US fucked around in Latin America early on under the Monroe Doctrine, but far more around the turn of the century. It's when we started getting real hard into imperialism, if we ignore the Indian wars. We helped Panama secede from Columbia so we could get access to the canal.

Wilson is not the first American to suggest that the US intervene in foreign affairs in the slightest - he's just the one that came up with the League of Nations, which failed so fucking hard and so fucking bad that the US rejected it in the Senate and began a strict period of isolationism and non-intervention. Even FDR could not overtly break this isolationism until Pearl Harbor (he had to skim around it with Lend-Lease). And again, without the nationalism that is spawned by the Napoleonic wars, you don't get wwi; you don't get the Napoleonic wars without the French Revolution, which you don't get without the American Revolution, which you don't get without the Enlightenment, which goes on and on and on and on.

I'm guessing they will claim "undo influence by economic terrorist" and either cancel the shorts or simply "adjust" GameStop to its rightful $15 price. Any complaints will be dismissed as the media and Dems cover for (((Wallstreet)))

Gamergate was literally the Internet's Holocaust. It was where female (some with penises) gamers were rounded up, herded into cattle cars, and taken to Internet concentration camps where they were harassed nonstop. The only way you can help them get over the trauma of this literal shoah is to give them money.
 
I feel like the hedge funds will just spread their activities out more strategically next time so it'll be harder to tell where to attack them from. They'll make slightly less money, but it will hardly stop them in the long run.

Even with this massive hole they were still able to control the systems and sites people use to trade to reduce the damage, and they were completely blindsided. They won't be punished for that and we all know it.

I hate to say it but for every crack in their system we find, they succeed in filling the holes with even stronger concrete.

We'll never get close to the House again, and Wall Street will only come out of this even stronger.

The walls have never been smaller now.
On the gripping hand greed never goes anywhere and every time there's a crisis it's only ever been a matter of time before people start making the same "mistakes" all over again. The cosmic clock continues to turn and what seems like cartoon stupidity morphs into something some sneaky ape thinks they can get away with all over again before anyone notices. And it's all accelerating.
