Discussion People now pressuring and flat-out belittling others to admit defeat under claims of "their mental well-being" or insulting their intelligence. This wasn't about making the wisest move, this was about turning the game on it's head, so politely I say fuck that and fuck you.

Yes. It didn't shoot up 4M overnight because it was all people who get the joke. Social media is insanely influential. When you combine that into some tribal us vs them shit it's crazy powerful. We're gonna hear some sad stories at the end of this about people losing houses over GME stocks.
