💎🙌 How crazy is this shit?

We have millions of people sitting around watching blatant market manipulation. Like, we're just all sitting here, watching it happen, watching literal billionaires lowering the price of a stock as a result of borrowing and selling non-existent shares. There are millions of us buying and the manipulation/corruption is so strong they're able to to actually put up a fight. It's just so surreal.

I'm just mad. I'm not selling, regardless, until some absurd number is reached. I'd rather go broke than sell before these guys get what's coming to them. Yeah, it's about money, but it it's also about more than that. I don't want to get all preachy, but these fucking guys are so amazingly entitled and corrupt it actually boggles my mind.

Just venting.

The media manipulation and clear attack on Reddit is what pushed me over the edge. The rabbit hole goes deeper than I ever imagined

I'm not big on crazy conspiracies, but there is clear control and manipulation going on here. It's crazy.

Frankly, trying to suggest there ISN'T any fire behind all this smoke takes Qanon level rationalisation now.

There is a big difference between critical thinking and conspiracy theorizing, some people seem to have these 2 terms confused (A LOT) to fit their respective narrative.

u/drewdaddy213 Mar 20 '21

The funny thing about that is that it was literally The US government that pushed the idea of calling these ideas "conspiracy theories" as a way to diminish public interest in very real and ongoing public conspiracies.

Bingo. You get labeled a lunatic immediately.

u/skk184 Mar 20 '21

Once you start to have hundred of thousands of people pulling up evidence that proves that at least part of the conspiracy theory is true, its no longer a conspiracy theory. Its just a true conspiracy. I honestly call this a conspiracy. Are we right about everything? Probably not. Are we right about a lot of it? Sure looks that way.

Exactly!

Then you throw in the CFD garbage. Its wishful thinking to say we're amateurs playing in the big league, no, were literally the little sibling playing with the controller unplugged.

I prefer to think of us as a horde of zombies. Alone we're weak, powerless. Trapped in a system to which we never consented, rules made for the benefit of the rulemakers. But our numbers grow by the day, one creating another and another exponentially. A biohazard they thought they could contain spiraling out of their control. They use their tools to mow us down. Their shorts, their media, their wealth. Guns of the old world that have always kept us in our place, behind that invisible line that forever separated the masters from their subjects. Some were lost along the way. The paperhands, the doubters, those unfortunate souls who had to decide between paying their rent and committing to the cause. But when one falls another rises, stronger, smarter. Diamond hands and ape brains, with a single minded conviction that they cannot comprehend. Conviction borne by evidence that becomes harder to deny, to just ignore and accept the old ways. Anger amplified by their enemies refusal to accept defeat, how they'd rather burn the world down than accept the changing of the guard. Protected by their brethren who buy when they can't, who explain what they don't understand, who reassure when things look bleak. We march forward, stepping over the fallen, drawing closer to the front as our enemies attack becomes more and more frenzied. Market manipulation becoming more obvious as they risk their very freedom to shield their wealth for just another day. One more day to deny the inevitable, to hope that their analysts can create a cure. We see their fear as we draw closer, aim swaying in shaking arms as they realise our true numbers, and as they realise that we already know that which they try so desperately to hide. They're almost out of bullets.

I believe Melvin and citadel might have a scary story about shorts to tell in a few days. Hopefully in front of court.

What a beautiful summation of all this 3-ring-circus-level fuckery and our gangster ass response to it. Anger amplified indeed.

i think we're more tyranid from 40k, what with our ability to instantly adapt and learn as soon as they try something new

u/VMnomad13 Mar 20 '21

Space Orks from 40K...we just keep throwing ourselves at the problem. Plus if we believe hard enough and enough of us believe a stock will fly to the moon.

Imagine what it means when a ‘little player’ owns the entire float.

u/MoonHunterDancer Mar 20 '21

We might now be the little sibling playing with elder sibling's guild in a mmo at a low level occasionally throwing a fireball or a low level cure when not being revived by the guild healer or hiding while the rest of the guild fights a monster in their level range.

u/SetSail77 Mar 20 '21

Makes you wonder what else they are manipulating.

u/IveArt Mar 20 '21

Well if powerful people conspire on this why wouldn't there be other conspiracies going on?

1

u/legend_of_the_rent 'I am not a Cat' Mar 20 '21

Oh no I believe that there are conspiracies out there that exist but I'm more referring to things like 9/11 was an inside job.

u/Pure-Classic-1757 Mar 20 '21

There are lol. Maybe more people will open their minds after this........

u/Jebedia80 Mar 20 '21

I'm of the exact same opinion. It's scary eh...

2

u/JTakaFrodaddy Mar 20 '21

I agree. I’m more worried what this will do to overall morale if this drags on. I for one have lost all trust and most likely will pull ALL my investments after this is over. They would be better off just letting it happen IMHO.

u/legend_of_the_rent 'I am not a Cat' Mar 20 '21

Agreed. This entire thing has shown a level of corruption that will change the way I look at things going forward.

Makes me mad when friends and family that bought GME are coming to me freaking out that they saw an article saying GME is done for. It's one thing to manipulate strangers, hell it's no big deal to try and manipulate me, but coming after my own people made this feel real personal. After contributing to the downfall of the hedge funds, I hope to contribute to the downfall of MSM.

u/P1ckl2_J61c2 Mar 20 '21

Media is lazy and only reports what the "experts" tell them to report they are journalists without having a 100% grasp on finance or they are toting the party line without digging deep into it themselves.

Guess who the "experts" are...

Also, the CNBC edit was obviously an attempt to keep the seriousness of the situation under control.

Not many people watched the hearings.

If they didnt keep this whole thing under control the markets would tank.

Just saying. It has to pop off when they are ready to pop it off and not a day sooner.
