I'm not sure if this is supposed to be posted here but I'm not sure this would be welcome in c/wallstreetbets (lmao) either. It's just sad and dispiriting. Not really gonna say more about this because it's been pretty draining tbh.

Also, before someone says "well I don't think it's WRONG to talk about this, and I don't think it's praxis, and y'know I had to pay rent and spent some money on this and I just like laughing at Melvin eating shit and...." cool, I'm not talking about you, you know which people I am talking about.

      A highly updated comment said something along the lines of, "Well shit, I finally understand why China is so harsh with their billionaires. We could learn something."

      This was on Reddit. Not only that, but there was only one "China bad" response. There are 5 million subscribers to that sub and most of them are politically illiterate, but each and every one of them now has a personal vendetta against big finance. I'm sure that only a minority of them are going to be radicalized to the left by this, but ignoring the chance to agitate seems like a missed opportunity.
