Seriously fuck those chuds. They’re elitist, classist and ableist pieces of fuck.
Any of you remember the misc bodybuilding forum? It’s just like that reactionary shit-hole except with stock discussion

I could honestly care less about /r/wsb - I just love watching these hedgefund managers lose their shirt and cry about it. It's the same energy as watching that clip of Chris Matthews crying when Sanders was winning about people rolling out the guillotines in central park.
The ghouls who are making money off of this aren't whining on twitter or to the media. I'm guessing it'll be like shock doctrine but for hedge funds buying out other hedge funds.
Bingo. Dingdingding. Parts of the high priests of Capital are engaged in cannibalism rn. Its just funny a bunch of gambling addicts are getting the spotlight and are revling in the attention
This whole thing has a real roaring twenties vibe (and we all know what came next). I don't mind going to the circus to laugh at the clowns, but I do find the number of people on this site wanting to 'get in on the action' somewhat alarming.
People are poor and the story involves what seems like easy money. I get why people are excited and want to get in on it, because it would be really nice to not have to feel dread whenever I think about how I'm going to pay rent over the next few months. Saying that, I'm also too scared of losing what cash I have to gamble it at this stage in the bubble
I very much agree . It's the same kind of draw that the lottery or gambling in general has - the potential of a life of material security (and even some comforts!). Even though the odds of success in engaging with gamemagedon are much higher than the lottery, for example, the luckiest proles might hope to pay for a few months of rent, pay off a chunk of debt, and even have an actual savings for accidents - this is good and a reprieve but not a substantial change in their material conditions. Meanwhile the luckiest capitalist ghouls will be making hundreds of millions. For those aspiring to liberate all of us from the ever-present threat of eviction and starvation, the time is better spent working to organize worker power and worker institutions to provide support and mutual aid.

I mean why isn't the economy collapsing?
2008 people in the US being unable to pay their mortages caused a global recession.
Noone can tell me that all rent and mortages get payed during this pandemic. Entire industries like tourism or gastronomy have stopped dead. many of those are smaller buisnesses but there are a lot of them and airlines ain't small. In general unemployment and underemployment is up so conditions for an overproduction crisis right?
I know states and central banks pumped massive amounts of money in and still are but it's strange how little is happening.
Yep. Whenever it involves cash money people get an itch that needs scratching. I'd say at least having the conversation openly so the more even headed folks can calm the fires a bit.
Bring back downvotes just for stock posts. I'm hoping this will all go away once the gamestop bubble is over. We do NOT want to bring WSB over here and we do not want to encourage people to gamble with what little they have. (And if you have more than a little, you better be giving ALL of the profit to the cause, not just """Some""" of it :stalin-shining:
