I'm not saying that people shouldn't talk about it, but the fact that the mods made it a comm, and that something like 70% of the posts here the last 36 hours have been about this is some massive r*ddit-brain shit.
I thought we were supposed to be better than that, but apparently not.
Its ok to wanr to follow the spectacle now and again, life is fucking boring sometimes, especially during this perpetual lockdown.
Also you can follow it and be excited/interested but also simultaneously aware that the stock market is complete bullshut and shouldn't exist, wsb is full of reactionaries, Elon musk cultists etc
I mean its the biggest fuck you to wall st. by the average person in awhile if not ever in the US. Even if it does get wiped clean in the end by some form of a bailout.
Sorry but Im not exactly overwhelmed by fellow leftist accomplishments this last year (including my worthless self). When everyone else seems to be doing fine. We spend so much damn time just talking or letting shit distract us from the bigger picture that we end up doing little to nothing while the dipshit hick groups with much more numbers, influence, etc go out and spread their fascism. Then Im forced to watch fascists hit the capitol in minecraft when thats the shit we should be doing instead of letting libs jack all our megaphones to lead up to kettling situations during the summer protests and the come back the next day and let them do it again rinse and repeat, or a bunch of libertarian teenagers on reddit doing more harm to the image of capitalism than our generation ever has.
Ive got off track and ranty so TLDR let people have their little victories even if they are vicariously. Especiailly during these times where hope of anything is hard to muster.
I find it extremely weird that a chunk of the economy is on fire and potentially gooing to explode and people would not want to talk about it. These are prime radicalizing hours!
Yep, I'm instantly suspicious of any "leftists" who are saying "move along, nothing to see here."
We're not expecting this single event to turn into a revolution. Fuck off with your straw men. This is merely a radicalising moment for a lot of people who are normally not tuned into financials nor even politics. Why wouldn't we extend a hand to guide them? This is a unifying moment and it will be whatever we make of it.

I think it is better if it is quarantined in a separate comm than if it is all over the place, at least you can filter it out that way if you want to.
And it really is a rather unique event, and the wsb talk will surely die down again once this has blown over.
