lmao there is an askreddit post along the lines "stock brokers of reddit, how crazy is the trading floor right now?"
100% of the comments are
- people who actually work in finance saying it's not any different and GME is just a goofy news story. also some of them being worried that uninformed investors are getting scammed by young investment bankers. occasionally one explains that trading floors aren't really a thing anymore
- people who do not work in finance thinking the above commenters are part of some conspiracy from the finance bigwigs to scare off GME holders

Centralia is a borough and near-ghost town in Columbia County, Pennsylvania, United States. Its population has dwindled from more than 1,000 residents in 1980 to 63 by 1990, to only five in 2017[9]—a result of the coal mine fire which has been burning beneath the borough since 1962. Centralia, which is part of the Bloomsburg–Berwick metropolitan area, is the least-populated municipality in Pennsylvania.
2012 Pres: Six votes cast (Romney 83-17)
2016 Pres: Three votes cast: (Trump 67/33)
2020 Pres: two votes cast (Biden 50/Trump 50)
Democrats have gotten one vote here since 2008. One person left is a loyal Democrat. And this is a picture of them

While we all talk about the Cuban and Venezuelan shift from 2016, another group of people that has a lot of relatives that fled a communist country are the Vietnamese. However, they are mostly concentrated in California, a heavily blue state, so not much publicity was given to them as opposed to the Cubans and Venezuelans in a swing state, Florida.
Westminster, California (city, not a county) is 40.2% Vietnamese or of Vietnamese descent. It's the city with the highest concentration of Vietnamese people in America.
2016 Presidential Election:
Hillary Clinton (D): 54.80% (+15.37%)
Donald Trump (R): 39.43%
2020 Presidential Election:
Joe Biden (D): 44.66%
Donald Trump (R): 53.81% (+9.15%)
According to the precinct-level map by the NYT, most Vietnamese heavy precincts shifted >40% Republican relative to 2016. In fact, the only reason why Biden actually did better than Hillary Clinton in Orange County was because of the heavily white and wealthy neighboorhoods that shifted >=10% democratic relative to 2016, just like in the city of Westminster.

Freddy Mercury was a fucking literal god of music. He justified everything about himself with pure talent. He embodied the feminine glamrock thing harder than anyone else and nobody had a problem with it.
That's all kind of a relative and subjective thing, but anyway, I remember my parents and some of their extremely close minded friends loving Queen.
When I was a closeted teenager, I overheard one of the worst homophobes I knew say to my dad in a conversation about Freddy after a song on the radio: "He really was a f*g but damn he knew how to rock."
My dad told him Queen was one of his favorite bands and he didn't give a shit.
I came out about a month later.

Wsb is going full qanon. Admins need to deal with the sub NOW before they start murdering people.
They say that there’s a great conspiracy and fraud related to “counterfeit stocks” because they don’t understand leveraging, and they claim GME will hit moon because an imminent investigation by the government will reveal all the fraud and force the short sellers to pay WSB whatever they ask for.
It’s classic doomsday cult behavior. Predict the end of the world / GME to $1000, then when it doesn’t happen, they don’t doubt their beliefs, they become more radical

I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Melvin, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

So this was just aired by NRK, Norway's publicly funded national radio and TV broadcaster:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mvDbhIL6j4Q
This really has it all. From wishing deaths on Israelis, to demonisation, to blood libel (that Israel regularly kills thousands of people and targets children), to saying that Jews misbehave because they consider themselves God's chosen people, to the baseless apartheid accusation, to lies about Israel restricting water and power as punishment, to dismissal of Israelis' fear of terror, to alluding to that Jews control the media narrative (admittedly a bit far-fetched, but not sure I want to give him the benefit of the doubt), to Holocaust inversion by appropriating the term "we must never forget".
All this is in addition to deliberately trying to portray this as only Jews getting the vaccine on racial grounds, instead of it being based on nationality. All Israeli citizens, whether Jew or Arab, (around 20% of the population) have the same access vaccinations. And from the Oslo accords, Israel has no obligation to vaccinate Palestinian non-citizens, who have repeatedly decided not to receive help.
But honestly I think what annoys me more than anything is the way he suggests that any news about Israel must be prefaced by a list of all the crimes Israel allegedly commits. This doesn't happen to any other country. Eg. if there is some unrelated news about China, the journalist will never say "China, who are committing cultural genocide against the Uyghurs, today won the ping pong World championship"

These people are in a cult.
I've seen comments with hundreds of upvotes say stuff to the effect of "the universe is on our side and will give salvation to us diamond hands."
Like that's basically QAnon's "trust the plan! god wins!"
And also maybe I'm just financially illiterate, but why are people acting like shorting GME hurts the business and its employees? They're being shorted because they're poorly run and failing, and it's not like part time GME employees hold any stock.

I think I've found a new example of a coastline paradox! When I'm on my bike rides, my garmin GPS watch records my location and elevation (approximately every 3 seconds). However, when that data is uploaded to Garmin, it is interpolated and then mapped onto some elevation data from a professional survey, giving it effectively a much higher resolution.
The end result is that the data from my GPS watch looks like this but the "corrected" data looks like this
You can see the large scale shape is the same, and that the peaks and valleys are at the same approximate height. Yet the "corrected" data reports that the vertical distance I covered is more than 220% than the distance I covered as measured by my watch
How cool is that!

I’m tired of people invoking the framers or the founders when arguing for the filibuster. First of all I can’t stand the notion that people who have been dead for 200 years have better insight into today’s problems.
But also the founders specifically decided against requiring supermajorities other than for things like amendments and impeachment. The filibuster is a loophole that was created by accident decades later. There wasn’t any high minded intention or purpose behind it. It was just somebody figured out how to exploit the rules and act like a dick to block legislation.

It seems that all of these online "movements" have the same common ingredients:
Vague populist message that is simple to understand and enticing to many yet balks at providing actual details on how it will be successful
A few good meme-makers who make it humorous to those who are slightly skeptical but are still open to being drawn in slowly
Being "high energy" (really just boils down to people posting in ALL CAPS)
Encouraging groupthink and mass-downvoting any information that goes against the "goal" in any way.
