I mean, if anyone needed (further?) proof that our society runs everything for the rich, the reaction to this GME provides that proof.

And I think the GME/WSB people are ridiculous.

But the reaction to them from the powers-that-be is far more ridiculous.

Semi?-related: I see how networked and powerful Gen Z can be. I hope they find some cause and harness that power for an amazing benefit to humanity -- nm - MDH Jan 28, 06:32 10
- I see a whole lot of "this is the millennials"/"this is gen z" and I've seen no proof. - ty97 Jan 28, 06:46 5
  - There has to be a lot of money involved. It may have started there, but once the stock started moving, I think it spread across classes/groups. -- nm - JaxSean Jan 28, 07:01
  - Who do you think uses "wallstreetbets" on reddit? haha -- nm - MDH Jan 28, 06:58 3
    - Sure, but there's a lot of "we did it, reddit!" -- nm - Roger More Jan 28, 07:09
    - All kinda of people? -- nm - ty97 Jan 28, 07:09
    - More that they're along for the ride much more than they are driving it. -- nm - Reagen Jan 28, 07:02
- Remember when when TikTok'ers ( I assume they were Gen Z) banded together to reserve tickets to a Trump rally so the small crowd would be embarrassing - zunkskunk+ Jan 28, 06:36 3
  - FWIW I don't think they stopped a single person from going to the rally. - Reagen Jan 28, 06:50 1
    - Yeah, but they at least thought there was going to be one and scaled for it. So at the very least they were embarrassed. -- nm - pmb Jan 28, 07:10
  - BTS fans iirc -- nm - Beaker Jan 28, 06:42
