Conservatives have now successfully flipped the free speech, free mind, trust no one penniless hippies of the 1960’s into a bunch of free speech silencing nazis corporate shills that loath freedom of expression and thought diversity. It’s been something to behold.

So is that the narrative your siding with?


two of the most prominent liberals have commented against wall street on this matter. and, as a liberal, i also agree with their opinion, and likely with yours.

so your thread title needs to be changed. its clearly wrong.

trump fans seriously acting like they dont suck off wall street 25 hours a day and actually align with millennial gamers on reddit

No liberals are siding with hedge funds, that's you, that's your side, we're the redditors, you're the free market capitalists. Are you really so desperate for a win youll bandwagon anything you see?

You’re projecting. Liberals occupied Wall Street. Liberals post on Reddit. Liberals are not siding with Wall Street today. Fake news.



I believe this is where some of the overlap between Bernie Sanders leftists and Trump right wingers comes into play.

I think the type of liberal who would be siding with the hedge funds here would be the high brow, snobby, old money style liberal in the mold of someone like Nancy Pelosi. Likewise the type of right winger who would side with the hedge funds would be an establishment Republican.

Actually, it isn't.

At a casino the losers pay the winner and the book makes money off the fees. You take LSU -5.5 and win, the sportsbook holds back 9% of your winnings and the sap who took the opponent and the points gets nothing.

In the stock market, you're part owner of the company and entitled to a share of its profits. When you buy in, someone else is selling, and unless they're in dire straits, doing so is advantageous for them. They might have bought at a lower price and are losing out only on potential future earnings.

Leftists: explain why you are siding with the hedge funders


Here's why... check this quote...

quote:

Galvin says the New York Stock Exchange ought to "consider simply suspending it for a month and stop trading it," and that there is "no rational basis for this run up." He offers the opinion that GameStop's current trading "needs some regulatory intervention" and an "example" needs to be made of GameStop to prevent similar occurrences.


fricking authoritarians. That's why.

Oh really? I see you havent taken in your daily CNN, NY Times, etc. propaganda because they are all defending the funds. They shape your entire warped worldview so what else are we to believe?

You say leftists are siding with hedge funders yet provide no links or evidence.

I could just as easily make up why does th right support hedge funders?

I think most everyone loves what is happening and screw these hedge funds that make so much money manipulating markets to kill businesses.

Yall love killing businesses and siding with the big guy as evidenced by the past 10 months or so. Why would it suddenly change?

I’ll keep it as is, until the news breaks tomorrow and the new narrative is out. The leftists aren’t known to be steadfast in their beliefs. Lol

They just havent gotten the marching orders yet. CNN and other leftist propaganda outlets have been defending the hedge funds all day

frick you im not trying to frick up my inheritance for some dumb internet troll

I’m half convinced this was a scheme by long holders knowing without trump there basically is no trend on the Internet. China Flu is the most tweeted thing in the last 24 hours, but isn’t in the top 30 trends on twitter.

If you wanted to make a ton of money on a shite stock like GameStop (who closed their locations near me) get the Internet plebes to drive up the price and make a fortune on a soon to be defunct stock

Yes, dear? Oh I’m supposed to believe the “I know you are but what am I” post? The same liberals who decried blood for oil during Bush, but now are all in on Biden’s foreign intervention? The same left that “hates Wall Street” yet voted for the guy that is in Wall streets pocket? The same left that screams “human rights” and “Trump hates Muslims” but ignores Chinas Uighur Muslim genocide?

You’ll , of course, forgive me if I don’t immediately take 1 retarded leftists claims as fact just yet.

Agree. While the reddit angle is new, it was a classic pump and dump for someone.

It is comical to see the anti-establishment, anti-capitalism mostly Dem voters on Reddit loving the taste of money and wanting to make a buck in a capitalist market. Like AOC selling her sweaters.

1. The maga obsession with CNN is so funny because none of us give a shite about it, the liberals are all over on MSNBC. Same with NYT. You think you have some sick burn and you're yelling at an empty room.

2. By all means link to them defending the funds. Youre saying youve seen them do it, please go ahead and link that.
