      Explain what you said then, because my interpretation and I think the obvious one is that we should not welcome these people because they do not currently pass what qualifies as leftists.

      Believe it or not, most of the people on WSB are not petty-boug and are gambling with the bare hundreds, some thousands, that make up their savings. They use ableist language because the culture on that sub enables, encourages, and demands it.

      A lot of people are rightfully recognizing how close these people are to coming over and realizing the sheer dominion Wall Street hedge funds have over the entire economy for seemingly no rational reason, and that line of thinking should be encouraged.

        I talked alot about it in the other comment thread here

        I get what you're saying, it's a more promising layer of the internet than most for sure, still not a fan

        sorry for being terse I'm a bit high strung atm.

          Quill we should be committed to converting these people, there's no other purpose of this site and this is about the best opportunity we will get likely all year.

          There is massive traffic there, people scrambling, and growing class consciousness. To miss that opportunity or actively swim against it is wasting a lot of the effort that has gone into preparing ourselves for this moment.
