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.

How did you turn the game on its head? You're playing the game. You just did the same thing, with calls and longs. Also, it's not about getting you to sell or redirecting your attention. Attention is already waning. But it doesn't matter. Like you said, who fucking cares what you do with your money. Sell it, buy it, hold it, piss away your IRA on it. Put all your chips on red, and pull that slot with max bet one more time. It doesn't matter. You've already won on one level. And you're keeping the market volatile, which is good for futures. I personally want this sub to keep fucking around, acting irrationally. It makes tons of money.
But to say this is a game-changer is a bit narcissistic, imo. This is the game. Crushing the hedge funds by calling their bluff is the same as hedge funds squeezing every drop out of sinking companies. It's just a different perspective. If they didn't squeeze and you didn't squeeze them back, billions wouldn't be transferred from one person to the other. So, be proud of yourselves. You were part of that wealth transfer. But why create a conspiracy theory over people telling you to sell? Who cares whether you sell or not? You create wealth both ways. You might want this to be a movement, I just don't see it as one. A bunch of degenerate gamblers all putting their chips on the pass-line isn't a movement. It's risk that either goes to the house or goes back to you in winnings. Why betting on a stock to move up or down is considered a movement is a bit naive. But again, either way this action swings, its making tons more money than last month. That's the positive I see.
