Gamestop was a predatory pump and dump and when the dust settles, we'll find out once again that the average people got caught holding the bag. The real tragedy is how people buy into it as an example of populism. "What real Americans need is an end to wage stagnation, not the opportunity to gamble on stocks".

Using the stock market to attack capitalism is using... the master's house to dismantle the master's house

    You will never address inequality with the stock market. It's fundamentally impossible because you're trying to get a claim on someone's unpaid wages. Either they get paid or you get paid. We live in neoliberal hell so you need to have a 401k to survive old age but can't we at least be aware that we're investing in screwing your fellow proletarian and they're invested in screwing you and this is all really good news for the bosses?
