        Oh no, you've got it backwards. Benny G is a wellspout of orgone. They guy is thrumming with a oil-sheened aura of horny.

        But he's 150% NoFap, on that NoNut General Ripper shit. He has a Terrible muse and this is how he pays tribute.

        4chan’s /biz/ wasn’t doing SHIT with gamestop until 2 days ago. And even the the sentiment was “reddit bad fuck that”.

        Jo, even though I get the zn bn, it is too bad a Shoa joke the day after the liberation of Auschwitz. Maybe cool it a bit for my sake.

          my bad. I'm not an anti-semite for the record, I used that name because I truly believe he is basically already one, but doesn't make it public.

            Oh yeah, Ben Garrison is absolutely an antisemitic fascist-grifter. All good and thanks for the response, just change the zyklon reference :)

      i think wallstreetbets used to have a tag that said "it's as if 4chan found access to a bloomberg terminal" but otherwise no

      /biz/ has been talking about $GME for awhile, but not particularly any more than WSB as far as I can tell. Considering they're dramatically smaller than WSB and obviously didn't kick this off, the best you can say about them is that they rode along behind them. If you can point to any one person most responsible for this, it's probably DeepFuckingValue on WSB who has been banging the $GME drum (which I imagine to be resold & overpriced DK Jungle Beat controller) for a year.

      There were even a variety of comments on /biz/ to the tune of "maybe Reddit isn't so bad after all?" but with the reason of course being "because they're screwing the jews!" /pol/ and /biz/ are convinced this is going to redpill normies on antisemitism, but it seems most of the posts I've seen are either just going "wow everyone across the political spectrum hates Wall Street!" to a bunch of AOC and Rashida tweets being upvoted. Not much in the way of people being excited that Ben Shapiro or Ted Cruz pretended to care about stopping greed on Wall Street.

        dude I browse /biz/.

        /biz/ is a fucking shithole. It's actually the second-worst board on 4chan, after /ck/.

        No, they had absolutely nothing to do with GME and just jumped on the bandwagon 2 days ago. It was all reddit (I hate reddit but you gotta give props where due)

    So we're going to hear that WSB are devoted Trump supporters from both libs and cons now?

      This is why ALL of you guys need to be HEAVILY astroturfing r/WSB so that this doesn't happen. Make posts about how what they're doing is basically communism-lite. Make posts REBUTTING anything that compares them to Trumpers.

      When you short a stock, you borrow it from the broker and sell instantly. you pay back the stock later. If stock price falls, you buy at the low price and pay it back, making profit.

      Naked short is when you sell a stock without even borrowing it. This probably happens all the time, but with GME it is undeniable because 150%+ of the total shares were shorted. More shares were shorted than actually fucking EXIST. Thus, there was tons of naked shorting, it's just arithmetic.

      naked shorting is actually illegal, and SEC didn't do shit about hedge funds doing it. reddit actually did what the SEC is supposed to do, by checking the shorting by driving the price up.

      like it is either a weird ben brain melting thing or he is trying to imply that they took the "shorts" as in short stocks from the hedge funds

    Thank you Ben, I wouldn't know what shorts are if you didn't told me.
