There's going to be more threads on main crying about how our lefty cred is obliterated than actual threads about stocks.
ITT: OP purposely ignores the giant gaping chasm between bored office workers day trading on Robinhood and Wall Street hedge funds worth hundreds of billions of dollars, equates the two as somehow equally responsible for capitalism.
If capitalists loaded an Olympic sized swimming pool with billions of dollars open and unguarded, and a mass of proletariat came upon it, would you wonder why they rob what's been robbed from them?
Unfocus from the questions of how a market should operate and what just economic conditions are and what sort of ethic is required of a revolutionary, a bunch of people (many of whom are emphatically not rich) are taking money from billionaires. If your politics are so pure that's a bad thing, I don't want it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Fiat currencies and stock values may be imaginary, but the horrors of poverty are very real. If someone has some crazy strategy to make money on the holy slot machine I don't see a problem with having a place to share it. There's a difference between exploiting the exploiters and supporting exploitation.
Libs and chuds breaking the stonk market. Is this the unity Biden wanted?
Unfortunately this usually ends at step one because step two involves your own head once you're among the monied
