- flyingfences 6y agoDo you care to explain how buying a stock constitutes "violent action against society"?
- Karunamon 6y agoCensorship is a description of an action, not a value judgment. Restricting someone's ability to speak is censorship.
- engineer_22 6y agoYou have not shown how WSB is violent.
- m_a_g 6y agoAnd how did WallStreetBets "drive violent action against society" exactly?
- ceejayoz 6y agoInitiating a short squeeze isn't "financial violence". C'mon.
- jayspell 6y agoWhat WSB is doing is peaceful protest. Based on your definition of violence the Montgomery bus boycott was violence.
- eecc 6y agoUhm so if you’re a group of out-group “retards” you’re violent, but if you’re a well groomed lad in a suit it’s a-ok “just the invisible hand at work”?
- bdcravens 6y agoThen virtually any platform, including HN, can be shut down under this definition.
- Zigurd 6y agoThis comment sums up how to miss the point: Calls for physical violence should get you banned. "Financial violence" is among consenting adults, and nobody dies.
