Topping the league of international pissheads.
To be fair to the other countries, they don't have as many forumengers, so it's not really a level playing field.

This GameStop stonks / reddit v hedgefunds fuckery is pretty wild. Not going to pretend i know the first thing about how any of it works but the sight of the financial press / 1%'ers having salty conniptions at the prospect of their short sell going titsies and not being able to cover their losses on account of a bunch of commies from the internet using the same fucked system they do, is chef's fucking kiss delicious.

Discord has banned the wallstreetbets channel and now the Robinhood app has suspended buying on Gamestop, Blackberry and Nokia.

Quite.
What is happening with Gamestop isn't notable for what is happening. This sort of thing happens every day on various markets. its the fact that its outsiders doing it that is the difference.

Discord banned them for hate speech. If you take one look at the subreddit you can see why.
They gladly compare themselves to 4chan which kind of says it all. They are categorically not communists.

Not to downplay how funny it is that some internet nerds have got some hedge funds shitting themselves. But I would just say it's not exactly a clear cut good vs. evil.

I have a gut feeling that some of these "internet nerds" sticking it to the man are actually exceptionally well funded people who have been pumping and dumping crypto markets for the last 8 years or so.

And the SEC / other exchanges halt / suspend trading for those too.

No doubt. When someone's making money the "entrepreneurs"/vultures are never far behind.

Sunak wants to raise taxes then drop them before the election. Clever, but my god it's cynical.

won't somebody think of the people with more than one yacht!
the prospect of seeing this venal cunt penniless and on the street is the big dick energy 2021 needs to deliver right about now.
The HS2 protesters out the front of Euston Station have dug a fucking tunnel under the camp, and Swampy is helping out
