In case you missed the GME drama that is going on at the moment here is a video explaining how r/WallStreetBets is taking millions of dollars from an aggressive (and unethical) hedge fund. [25:00]

I've made a lot of money off this stock recently. Hedge fund managers hate it and it's glorious.

It is class war: The poor eat the rich (if only a little)

(Link is to a WSB post in which a Redditor explains why for him it is personal)

I think this is hilarious. I'm surprised Jewish run reddit hasnt shut the sub down since it directly threatens how a lot of Jewish wealth is generated. I'm sure they'll come up with a reason before too long if they continue this kind of thing. Maybe blame it on the alt right or Russian trolls, or accuse them of being anti semites because the hedge funders being targeted are Jewish. At the very least I'm sure they'll be installing hand picked (((mods))) to crack down because "ya'll cant behave".

There is still a small wing of lefties that focuses on the 1% rather than taking the Goybait and blathering on about non existent Nazis and white privilege. BLM and antifa are largely an attempt to silence and distract that wing by getting them chasing after red herrings, but apparently there are a few lefties left who havent given themselves a woke lobotomy.

LOL. That will red pill thousands of pissed off Redditors — They couldn't be more obvious if they tried.

The comments over at Sailer's blog are absolutely hilarious.

Unz:

Billy Bunter’s father was a stockbroker, and at home in the holidays Bunter often beard of bulls, and bears, and stags, fearsome creatures that haunted the purlieus of Throgmorton Street. Exactly what the difference might be among “bulls,” and “bears,” and “stags,” Bunter did not quite know—but he knew that Mr. Bunter was sometimes a bull, sometimes a bear, and at odd times a stag, changing like a chameleon according to the state of the market.

“Last hols, I heard the pater say it was going to be a bear market, and he’s a bear,” went on Bunter. “Well, when you’re a bear in a bear market, you make lots and lots of money. You see, you sell a lot of shares you haven’t got, and then you get—.” “Run in ?” asked Peter. “No, you silly ass !” roared Bunter. “You get the profits”. — Billy Bunter's Banknote (1948)

The rules are pretty clear, you can't say things that go against the interests of the ruling class. You can't criticize globalism or multiculturalism and you can't say things that actually damage wall street.

The more groups that get banned the better because it will drive people to decentralized platforms and alt tech.

It's not.

LOL The Financial Times just linked WSB to the alt-right in an attempt to discredit them.

It would be hilarious if the alt-right really were taking down Wall Street (like a Murdoch Murdoch meme writ large) but WSB is fiercely apolitical. It is probably more libertarian than identarian.

I think this is hilarious.

Apparently it is Trump's fault

Who cares?

I'm not that interested in the stock market but there is a certain sense of schadenfreude in watching a predatory hedge fund overreach while attempting to bankrupt a company and then (possibly) get knocked out of existence by a group of unemployed Redditors. Black Rock — an amoral company I absolutely despise — is possibly also on the hook for a huge sum of money.

I am also interested in the media spin and if Wallstreet will actually pay up. The system is rigged and it is satisfying to see people who have had so much money taken from them (or some of them anyway) get the upper hand for once.
