Just found out about my man sorosfootsoldier.

Fuck the chuds in wallstreetbets. Also, that little blonde kid they have as their label for the subreddit is fucking lame and stupid looking.

            I don't think a lot of people are going to come out of this making that amount of money. The only people that will win from this are Wall Street firms and the finance/tech bros on Reddit who had money to invest very early on like DFV, who invested like 150k from the start. People who get a few hundred or thousand in profit and become capitalist bootlickers probably had no plans to become socialist anyway. Does that mean I think r/WSB is a good place? No. I think that place sucks and most of those folks who aren't astroturfing or making shit up will probably be caught holding the bag. A lot of people are going to get burnt by this bubble. Remember that kid who committed suicide because he got himself into a deep hole in Robinhood? There's going to be a few of those at the end of this road unfortunately. This is why those services need to be shut down or have margin trading severely limited.

        How did radicalization happen for you? It isn't a sudden 'aha' moment but a slow burn as the contradictions of capitalism become apparent. Do I think the people on Reddit or WSB are likely to radicalize? Fuck no. Its a cesspool. But it's still worth the effort to practice.

        My lib family are increasingly talking shit about capitalism. A former libertarian in my family thinks several industries should be de-commodified.

        Is it good enough? No, but you keep chipping away and hope it sticks.

      You’re really a super bad take

      What wallstreetbets is doing is objectively good. If you think you’re going to get revolutionary soldiers out of a bunch of bigoted money kids, I think you’re dissociating from reality a bit.
