I think these people have accomplished more than Occupy Wall Street ever did. All that movement accomplished was to make anyone criticizing wall street look like fools because the movement started holding up absolute weirdos as their paragons. It's an interesting potential for civil disobedience and striking blows against the corrupt fucks in Washington where it actually hurts, but we're likely to see some kind of ridiculous arbitrary regulation imposed.
    I did my part. I threw my stimulus check into $GME stock and plan on holding or increasing my long position until it looks like the short sellers have taken maximum losses.

    There are potentially millions of us who are not primarily motivated by money in this case.
    This is a once in a lifetime financial event that I believe should get more and more outlandish at least through options expiration on Friday.
    There will likely be other plays after this, but this is the big one.

Tech, globalization, and the 20th century banking profession have brought us to the point where surviving without supporting America's commercial-imperial empire is BARELY possible for one extraordinary and dedicated person, much less a poplar movement. As Mr. Jackson recognizes, this was all part of the plan.
    I have always said that Imperial empires are the worst kind of empire.

    Rip, watch this video before youtube censors it.

    PCR Lab Visit: Whistleblowers Kevin McKernan, Bobby Malhotra Explain Why COVID Tests are "Garbage" - YouTube
    If you are not familiar with the problems with PCR testing and the resulting absolute shit for "data," and the subsequent uh, problems with public health policy, you need to watch this NOW. You leftist fucks that post here, for example.

    It's clear that the "crime" was pissing that pig off. Nothing would have happened if he just left or just put a mask on.
    In all due respect. It is NOT clear. This is your opinion. YOUR credibility rides on making this distinction.

    The fucking cop walked in and started yelling at the guy for not wearing a mask, when he could have just ignored him, like decent cops do in similar situations when there is nothing actually bad going on. Instead of trying to incite a situation, which he clearly wanted to do because the cop doesn't like open carry. He's a prick. That is all. There is no shortage of them. They have the ability to fuck you up, and you should be afraid of them. He's lucky the cop didn't kill him. Then there there would have been a "bad shoot." Lots of paperwork, getting rid of the video, etc.

    If you watch that video and can't tell that cop is someone who gets off on bossing people around, you are not good at reading people.

    Of course everything you say maybe true. It’s possibly likely.

    What I get from the video is the cop arrived as a response. Why was he responding?

    That is YOUR mistaken opinion.

    It's possible the store clerk called the cops. That would mean that the guy had been in the store quite a while, not typical for a convenience store stop. The guy could have been about to rob the clerk. The guy could have been waving his gun around. Anything could have happened. I was responding to what I see in the video. I've been wrong before. But probably not this time. Had the cops been called to a store where the clerk reported a man with a gun, what typically happens is NOT what you see in this video.

    Here's the video: https://gab.com/a/posts/105618932603291234

    Every time the government gives the cops another reason to contact us, they increase the chance that pieces of shit like this have an opportunity to hurt people. Even here in Texas. Again, it's good that the guy wasn't killed.
