As I originally posted on /stonk:

The fake news, the fake numbers, the faked emails, the laughable attempts at swaying this community’s perspectives, the bought politicians, the corruption, the far reaching tentacles, the oppression it’s caused… fuck everything about it. All of it.

I have no zen-like feelings. I have a deeply rooted and ever growing feeling of hate for all of it, for all of them. For every one of these assholes that are the cause of this situation and for each and every individual that’s ever looked the other way when they should have done the right thing. I don’t give one iota of a fuck for the money any more. When MOASS pops off and all of the world’s economy is sucked into the black hole I will spend every cent that it makes me on ensuring that every single one of them are found out, hunted down, and made to atone for their part in it. Fuck Lambos, I’m buying jail cells.

I have no more fucks to give. I’m buying out of hate. I’m buying out of spite. I stopped drinking just so I can afford more shares. I smoked my last cigarette last weekend just so I can buy more shares. That shirt isn’t worth the two shares it costs. If I skip lunches I can buy another share every day.

I just put an order in to CS that should put me over 100 as long as it fills under $20. From here on out I’m buying 10 a week. I don’t care if that means I have to eat ramen noodles for every damn meal.

Fuck you Kenny. Go to Hell. My shit’s DRSed and you can’t fucking have it.

    I understand and share your frustration. The system we’re in right now is pretty rotten.

    Power corrupts, and the incumbent power holders of wall street are the most powerful and corrupt of them all. And most of what we are witnessing are symptoms of those power holders taking actions in their interests so that the end result is that they are the ones that continue to hold the power. They cannot play fair because if they played fair then they would lose their power and the game would be over for them. The ability to play unfair is a privilege for corrupt power holders.

    So really it becomes a game of: how do you unseat corrupt incumbent power holders? It’s a very challenging thing to do, because they have so much more power than you, so much of an unfair advantage over you. Everything you attempt to do to take them down, they will outmaneuver you with superior access to information, access to money, access to political power, access to media, control over what people consider to be the “truth”, etc.

    But, supreme power or not, they are not omnipotent and they are not invincible. They do have weaknesses.

    Consider that, if simply everyone in the world knew, like we know, how the cheating works – the naked shorting, the failures to deliver, the intent of preying on vulnerable companies to profit for billions, picking and choosing winners in the stock market, manipulation of the media to sell false narratives that deliberately hide the important truths – if everyone everywhere knew about it, they’d be outraged at the injustice.

    Everyone understands basic principles of justice and fairness. It’s something that was written into our genes millions of years ago. Consider this example of the monkeys and the cucumbers and grapes.

    Everyone knows when something is basically fair or unfair. If everyone in the world knew what was really happening, the consensus would be that wall street is unfairly stealing from everyone else and that we’d all be in agreement that the situation is unjust, and that something needs to be done about it. Obviously the power holders know this too and that is why part of their operation includes perpetrating acts of mass mind control by using the media to tell lies every day and hide the truth every day, so that the masses of the world do not take any action but continue to slave away for currency that affords less and less every year.

    Our opponents are powerful but they are stuck in a trap. They really don’t have many avenues where they can achieve their desired outcome where they continue to hold power and also keep the system as they know it in tact. I think January of 2021 was an unexpected event which caught them off guard, and it opened Pandora’s box. Everything that has happened since then has been in many ways reactionary.

    I surely don’t know what is going to happen, but I do believe that DRSing shares of GME is something that scares them a lot. DRSing has slowed down to a crawl, and this benefits them. Pulte has repeatedly said things like “how do we get 10 million people to do this, how do we get 100 million people to do this”, and he’s simply addressing the reality that if everyone out there simply understood as we already do that there is a path to victory against these rotten cheating criminals, those opponents do not have sufficient power to resist the strength of all of us.

      DRSing has slowed down to a crawl

      I’m not sure we can say that DRS has slowed to a crawl since we really can’t know for certain what the DRS rate is now that the officially reported numbers are being ‘adjusted’.

        I think we can trust the stockholder list and, to my knowledge, anyone please correct me if I am wrong, the stockholder list lined up with the reported numbers even with the change in wording.

        DRS seems to have generally stagnated. Personally my assumption is that the majority of motivated investors who believed in it have now done so, and we’re in a new phase now.

        I think it will probably take some event, could be any event really, perhaps something like the release of the Dumb Money movie, to renew attention to the story, and motivate new people into discovering what is happening for themselves. and some may eventually arrive at the conclusion, as we have, that they should DRS some shares of GME because GME is a good investment and the only way to properly own your investment is to DRS it.

    Too much zen makes me a bystander. That’s why I choose not to be zen and take action instead. Channel that anger instead of ignoring it!

    It’s dropping towards $15 so today I transferred money to my account in Fidelity. Going to buy the dip and DRS. As long as it stays under $16 I should end up with 300 fully booked in Computershare. Never thought I would get this many. Ken is really stupid. He should lay off the mayo and consider a low cholesterol diet. Might clear up his mental fog.
