While watching the GameStop stuff has been mildly hilarious (I mean who doesn't like watching the financial elite squirm?) it's pretty clear that a whole bunch of folk have convinced themselves this is ACTUALLY some kind of revolutionary activity. It isn't. 1/

Sure, it's highlighted yet another way in which the bastards profiteer but that's about it, stick it on the pile with the fifty other pro tips to keep the poor, well poor... It's todays banter and tho a few folks might have egg on their faces, literally nothing will happen. 2/

GameStop's three largest shareholders have earned £1.5bn+ during this. They sit at the top of some 200 institutions which are rolling. Meanwhile the ersatz rebels are now watching the bubble, realising there is profit to be made and having a wibble. 3/

No doubt some TRULY believe they are taking part in some kind of revolution but frankly it's utterly absurd and the vast majority are in it for the lulz and to cash in quick.

I'm sorry to tell you this, but you don't own GameStop.

The reality is, the scale of the economic disparity and corruption is simply vast. Billionaires loosing a few millions means nothing. They buy one less yacht and you continue to live meal to meal.

The "Free Market" changes a few systems and the abuse continues. 5/

You know what it reminds me off? Being six playing Super Mario Bros 3 with my older brother and after loosing man times I finally won. I declared myself king of all gaming and never played him again, knowing that I was indeed the best ever and reigning champ.

Maybe I should just shut up and let people enjoy things, but frankly, I hate watching people be lead down a deceptive road into the maw of bigotry that sits within the libertarian and AnCap communities. Shit even Discord found an easy excuse to ban them after multiple warnings.7/

The muppets that form the main body here are about three innocently asked questions away from spiralling into anti-semetic conspirocy and rabbling about 5G and Vaccines.

Honestly play innocent and ask your local AnCap / "classic liberal"/ Freeman... "whose behind it?" 8/

It's particularly cringe watching red roses and state commies jump on the bandwagon with these herrenvolk shites, willing ignorant of negligent IDK ... but I don't suppose such alliances have historical precidence or anything... 9/

Like I say, much like all good things, people who've sank heavy money here are starting to look at the figures, see green and there is a pop about to come.

Which for most of you won't matter, you only sank in what you could afford to loose for the gank, so whatever lol GG 10/

However, there are alternatives to just saying bye bye or cashing out a little richer.

For those of you who actually do have revolutionary intent and really want to nail down the message, while you're busy feeding the beast buy deliquent debt and then shred it.

11/

Like, best practice is not to dip ya hand into financial shite at all coz it's the banks that win every time, but if you care about the message in the memes, set up subreddits and form adhoc mutuals n shit to bulk buy deliquent debt, junk bonds & CDOs and then shred it.

12/

You took the money from the billionaires and erased the debt of some folk going through hard times.

Go on. Do it.

Don't reinvest into AMC and Silver.
Do a revolutionary thing.

Wipe out some debt.
No profit.
Just solidarity.

Go on #GameStonks, do it.

It's not like it's without precident. look up RIP Medical Debt, a former CA who bought debt and wiped it out.

People who'd been getting fucked over got a letter saying debts gone, have a nice day.

A $10 donation can buy — and eliminate — $1,000 in long-delinquent debt.

14/

Personally I wouldn't touch any of this with a 10ft barge pole, coz fuck the finance industry, Y'all should shut down wall street by taking over the buildings and turning them into homeless shelters, but IDK, just saying if you want to live up to your memes...
