I think both sides are doing the same thing and pointing fingers at each other. That's my point. Market manipulation is just that, whether it's done by a privileged class on their iPhone 11s (i.e. the Reddit mob) or Hedge fund managers.

A privileged mob on reddit armed with Macbook pros does not equal the people sticking it to the man.

Reddit itself is part of the oligarchy everyone is railing against.

The same way a coup can be immoral and wrong even if you lie upfront about it. It's abusive and destructive.
