    I don’t know why you have this much of a problem with someone acknowledging the reality that yes actually some normal people will lose money in all of this.

      Because normal people are so uniformly immiserated right now that this feels like a pointlessly pedantic thing to point out. It’s truly the least important thing to take out of this historic moment IMO.

      Just feels like you’re morally signaling yourself to be more be “left” than me because you care about these people potentially losing money and I’m trying to get you to wake up and find something more positive to take out of this.

      I’m sick of all the negativity around this and I don’t understand what it accomplishes. Losses are a well understood part of participating in WSB. It’s just super patronizing to me to assume these people don’t know what they’re doing and won’t be able to find a way to benefit from this.

      And yes some of them will lose out, but if you believe that’s the most important thing to think about here then go find those people and radicalize them when that time comes. Stop hemming and hawing about these potential losses before anything is even over.

        What about the new, inexperienced people roped into this by the hype? This is bigger than the WSB subreddit.

        Also I'm not doing any of that nonsense you've accused me of, I've only pointed out that this thing isn't entirely sunshine and rainbows.

          Teach them what a stop loss order is! And also teach them about gambling responsibly! And if you don’t know how to do either thing then log off and stop concerning yourself with the financial fate of a relatively small portion of a community that is centered around being financially reckless! Stop being whiny and try and make people feel more confident about holding until these fucks are bled dry! And if you can’t do that then what exactly are you contributing here with these concerns?? If you’re right, go do something about it, you can figure out what. If everyone holds melvin capital will fucking lose! And there’s more targets coming up. You decide what’s worth risking it all for just like the people you’re supposedly so concerned with. I trust their judgement much more than yours Rn.
