The most punk thing I've read in years came from this.
"WE CAN STAY RETARDED LONGER THAN YOU CAN STAY SOLVENT"
Some of them are going full on Samson to destroy Melvin.

I'm rooting for WSB? Is this reality?
If 2020 is disaster year, is 2021 the clown year?

The trouble is more of them will lose money than the hedge funds.
Honestly, I'm a little confused about that subreddit. It's so intensely "for the lolz" that there's no way it's all a joke--these dudes (and it's definitely mostly dudes) are undoubtedly just as stupid and immature as they pretend to be.
Not to mention the ableist slurs (it's taken me awhile, but calling someone a "retard" isn't cool, nor is associating autism with poor decision making).
(My brother has apparently "made" a few grand in the past few days. I had no idea he followed this shit.)

This is so stupid. The people who get hurt by this won't be the professional investors who know how to cover their asses, it will be the thousands of suckers who bought into the meme and can't afford to lose what they'll lose.
A shit ton of regular retail investors are going to get wiped out by this, not the hedge funds.

This is more like one rich person using a bunch of random ppl on Reddit, combined with bot farms and propaganda techniques, to fuck over another rich person, while all the random ppl on Reddit are convinced they're fighting back against rich people when really they're just hurting one hedge fund and being used by another.
