> Are we just going to continue to allow wall street to get away with fleecing everyone else in America / the world?

Well yeah. Why would you expect anything else? And if anyone complains about it, the complaints will get scrubbed off the internet. And if you go to private messengers to complain, your session keys will get escrowed because "terrorism" or "misinformation" or something and you'll be banned. Keep in mind that the WallStreetBets Discord server was banned for "hate speech" right in the middle of all the recent drama. Does anyone actually believe that was the real reason?

It's because of shenanigans like this that I'm categorically against any sort of control whatsoever over flows of information.

It won't be long before the Biden Administration is declaring members from WallStreetBets to be domestic terrorists acting in concert to attack the US financial system (it'll be part of the broader War on Domestic Terrorism program that they've begun). The powers that be in DC and on Wall Street will never allow this kind of action to go unchecked indefinitely.

They'll probably make it a crime to organize large groups of individuals to herd buy/short a stock.

You'd better believe that something will be done to ensure that the rabble can't insult their betters like this ever again.
