>Gamestop meme traders deliberately set out to smash the system

That is a very strange and biased POV. They did the exact same thing as people have done for years and years, the only difference being this was joined by many people not in the industry.

My understanding was that the whole point of the Gamestop trading was to force financial companies into a position where they were facing insolvency.

I guess it was a hyperbolic to describe it as smashing the system, but the key thing is that the primary purpose was to cause disruption, rather than purely to make a profit. That they became angry when that disruption occurred is a bit baffling to me.
