Probably best to start talking about that stuff now, while they're all together. "It's rigged against you; just watch, they'll change the rules" is pretty persuasive when it proves right.
was thinking recently about this: even much of the radical right wing has a fundamentally correct mistrust of their own government and understand (albeit loosely and poorly) its unhealthy connection to Wall Street - they just never find the right sources to understand how and why that is, and what to do about it (christman talks about this a lot). i want to believe in my heart of hearts that no one is beyond the pale.
oh no doubt, but the point is the racist/jingoist/tribal bullshit just fills the vacuum where their actual politics would be if they had a better purchase on reality. not trying to coddle these fuckers; they DO have access to real information, they just dont have the scruples to vet through all the bullshit around and in between, which... I mean... there's an entire tech/media/economic system working against them. there but for the grace of god go chapo
Most of them are cynically gambling because they know they have no future. Get rich or die trying kind of mentality. The mods are a lost cause who keep complaining about joggers.
I have my doubts many of them hold those beliefs deeply.
It really fucking sucks that they have them though but they ARE those who capitalism is actively fighting to crush and they quite obviously have come to some form of home brewed class consciousness
So we all know WSB is gonna get nuked by the admins the moment that first SEC subpoena arrives, right?
And we need to be there when it does to radicalize the lot of them.

80% of them will still blame "da joos" when they lose their shirts

What kind of person runs around a neighborhood and is a “good boy” who “didn’ do nothin” that they can say to get around a filter.
Edit: It’s a reference to the murder of Ahmaud Arbery who was jogging and didn do nothin. I forgot you all are libs. It also has to do with the way the n word is censored by Apple in autocorrect and bypassing word filters, but most people who use it now are referencing the murder

Yeap. There’s a reason I advocate for leftists to learn the market and make their own wsb, the people on wsb are petty bougie millenials and gen x.
If they don't prosecute wsb, they're definitely gonna prosecute a leftist version of it.
There are two million people on that sub. If even one percent of them came here this site would stop being world's only chapocel enthostate.
praxis immediately sending them a federated ark link, do it before the donald does and blames this on jews
There's always /biz/, and if 4chan hasn't banned /pol/ yet they aren't touching /biz/
