Beautiful work of posting. The whole thing is great.
like i am not worried about hackers hacking my country i am worried about the multiple fucking spy agencies americans have fucking my country up so they can profit a bit more out of bean and rice or some shit
Beans and Rice is a whole ass radicalizing speech I extemporaneously give every once in a while. It's a great point to really push home.
Edit: This comment inspired more interest than I was expecting. Working on a writing project now - will tag anyone who requests it in its own post when I finish.
I was writing a comment and it got way too far afield. Like, 2000 words and just getting to the point afield. I realize that this is harder to adapt to the written format than I thought. It was first inspired during an academic dialogue that took place over 3-4 hours, and while I've since given bits and pieces depending upon context at different times, I've never collected the whole thing in one place again. Thank you for encouraging me to think more about it, and I will work on it as a writing project over the next few days. I'll post it as its own thread and tag you when I do.
You're getting a steaming pile of contemporary theory tagged directly to your inbox.
more helpful to respond to my comment - but luckily I checked the rest of the thread and saw this haha. You're on the list.
You cheer when Robinhood steals from the barons, but will you still be cheering when Robinhood breaks into your house made out of dirt and steals YOUR golden candelabras?
He steals from the rich! He gives to the poor! Dennis Moore! Dennis Moore!

Folks, when nazis die, it's pretty funny. but when I die, it sucks. Are these not equivalent?
Later down he says
GameStop is not a $10 billion company. Full stop. And everyone involved in all of this knows that.
No shit, all of this is made up. That's the whole point.
Wait and what’s the market cap of Tesla? Uber? Hmmmmm
Edit just found Tesla. 819 billion lol.
Well I heard GameStop is coming out with a chip that they will put in your brain to download all the games you want directly into your memory. Coming out in 2050. That easily justifies the 10b worth
Exactly, all these companies are way overvalued. It’a funny how the corporate finance news is comparing GameStock to the dot com bubble when that is literally what big tech stocks are right now.
"Gamestop is worthless. I'm bidding the stock at $4/share."
"Fuck you, Gamestop isn't worthless. I'll buy options on the stock at $12/share."
"No! I'll short your position to $10/share!"
"Then I'll counter-buy at $20/share!"
"$15!"
"$40!"
"$25!"
"$100!"
the economics sage has logged on
Hi, yes. I'm here to inform you that all of this is irrational and does not reflect the true value of the firm.
both traders "NO SHIT!"
Right now a bunch of hedge fund honkeys are at home crying!
Is that funny to you?????????
Not to mention, he's talking about defacing here - basically virtual graffiti.
Tragedy is when I cut my finger. Comedy is when you short sell Gamestop and then a bunch of internet kids drive the stock up to bankrupt you for fun.
You're okay with bad things happening to bad people but have you considered bad things happening to good people?
