Communism is when there is only one kind of stock to buy on one platform and the government owns both. Robinhood is just being a corporate asshole - couldn't someone buy GameStop shares elsewhere?

What you you described is not even communist.

Well alrighty, and pacifism is only throwing one punch.

And 5 years later my GME is still worth shit. The shorts managed to game the system enough to where they only had a small impact. There will never be a moonshot anymore on it.

GME made out okay after all of that, but AMC is still down like 98% isn't it? Those idiots split into APE and AMC and then Reverse Split, which ended up charging fees for every single share a person owned on most brokerages due to the reorganization fees.

Comrades! Invest the fruits of your labor into GameStop! Let us double the corn output to align with this Leninist goal!

When that fill werrel accounts started tweeting politics back in 2012 I knew most "comedy accounts" and Twitter In General sucked.

Glad I left I when I did

That's because slasher did a lot of quake live coverage. It's on purpose.

EDIT: Never mind. This is from 2021.

For those of you who want to buy some Gamestop stonks, I'm happy to message you my WeBull referral link. (It's another online/application based brokerage.)
