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

    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.
