Not embarrassing at all. No Sir.
Just really fucking cool.
the people who are taking this seriously are pretty embarassing tbh. both the “THIS IS PRAXIS” and the the “nooooo! stonks bad!” crowd.
this shit really isn’t that deep. a bunch of reddit memesters are almost causing a market crash and people here find it interesting and wanna talk about it. fucking chill.
Communism is an economic system
Crazy economic things are happening
Communists want to talk about it
:surprised-pika:
Talking about it and actively engaging it aren’t the same.
Already in there, some people are acting exactly like parasites, talking about the next gme to jump on, and how they have no sympathy for those who might be left holding the bag, or even who didn’t/don’t jump in because they don’t want to risk their emergency funds.
Not everyone, but it’s there, and like a cancer, it’ll spread if it isn’t excised.
You’re not excited by the chance to participate communally in the biggest kick to the hedge-capitalists in recent history? While watching the contradictions intensify to an unheard of degreee? wtf.
I would happily buy 50 dollars of GME, if I had a fucking brokerage account, and hold it forever if it contributed to this kind of acceleration.
The class conciousness I’ve seen on reddit in the last few days is unprecedented imo.
lol, if we’re talking about either /r/wsb or reddit as a whole, I’ve seen more takes about “secret government interference” and demands to “free the free market”, than realizations that the system of capitalism itself is inherently rotten and irreformable.
i dont have any skin in his, but if something like this ever happens again i will. you can hardly begrudge people for trying to make a buck in this hellworld we live in. and im sorry i don’t have any sympathy for people who go in this beyond their means. Even in the den of evil, WSB itself, every fifth person is telling you not to ruin your life gambling on the stock market.
You should, though, because who the fuck knows what’s happening regarding further stimulus and many people are looking at looming debt and eviction on the horizon, so they’re putting in the savings they have now in the hopes they’ll pull out enough to weather the coming storm.
I mean, they shouldn’t, and a socialist website shouldn’t be engaging in it, but I totally understand why some people are playing with fire.
Being upset that some people on here are making like $200 is some big brained “oh you hate capitalism yet use and iPhone” shit.
Yeah, that is definitely the point. I’m so upset right now, I’m gonna shid my pants.
I think it’s annoying how so much of you can be so damn angry all the time about literally anything. Get a fucking grip. Go out and get laid, or if you’re not into that eat some ice cream or something.
One of my lib friends has been radicalized by this stupid stock shit and me gently nudging him along which is awesome but the fact that fucking admins on this site are STILL encouraging people to waste their money on this performative garbage is telling.
Making a fucking stocks gambling comm when users (including myself) have been requesting a personal finance comm for months is a slap in the face.
It’s deeply disappointing that “we can radicalize them!” has been used as an excuse to encourage poor people to throw away what little money they have to pointlessly demonstrate something that’s already been clearly demonstrated. And even more concerning is the encouragement of doing it for the chance of getting more money (which is extremely unlikely at this point).
I guess I should’ve seen it coming tbh, beatnik has admitted to being a PMC ghoul. Extremely cringe.
Posts … were spamming up main
I’ve said it once I’ve said it a thousand times. Bad posts like OPs are going to keep coming down the pike if you let posters post the sort of post this poster’s post is posting about.

Do you realize how taking community creation decisions as a personal affront comes across?
Not a personal affront to me, more like the community as a whole. A lot of people here would probably be helped by a comm dedicated to being smart with your money. Few people will be helped by a stock market gambling comm, and a lot will be directly harmed. If they actually convert it to a personal finance comm like they say they will then that’s good but allowing the “stocks gambling is praxis, actually” bullshit to propagate in the meantime is a bad move imo.
If you look at the modlog you’ll see upward of a dozen threads posted to main removed and redirected about this today give it’s the biggest news story of the week because of our incredibly dumb economy, media, and callous disregard to an ongoing pandemics.
The new comm is pretty obviously a way to contain all of those in one place. So trying to treat that unique situation as a judgement on your other comm proposals or anything else doesn’t make that much sense.

Oh shut the fuck up lmao
This place actually feels like chapo for once
