But that's what's needed! As horrible as I may make it sound, it's exactly what's needed to get people to actually do something. So many people settle into the malaise of thought streams ushering them on an inner tube like a lazy river to the inevitable idea that they can't fight, much less change, the very system they are in. Hogwash.
What politicians and Wall Street culture has done to the person on mainstreet is horrible. 2008 was a siren call of the danger ahead. 2021 may be the call of the Black Swan, but hopefully people will finally realize it's only this way because for so, so long we've allowed it to happen. Folks like the one in the OP's screenshot finally understand they truly have nothing to lose. We, have nothing to lose now that we know that it can not only be taken from us willy nilly, but the rules will be changed in order for them to take it from us.
"...by consent of the governed." People forget that phrase. Our last non-violent protest is what's playing out now. GameStop is the canary indicator of whether or not we have the stomach for true, equitable change.
