Free silver and unconventional warfare

The NASDAQ boss-woman recently compared the GameStop situation with the Capitol riots.

She isn't *entirely* wrong. Imagine what Russia or China could do if *they* rather than a bunch of nerds coordinated attacks on the Wall Street stock exchanges.

The only way to stop such attacks would be to have tighter controls of the "market", which means government regulations over the economy!

Capitalism, it seems, is no longer a match for Communism (or Putinism).

Of course, this simply poses another question point blank: who controls the state?

And yes, I've heard about the recent attempts to "game" the silver markets. Gold might be next...

What a time to be alive!

UPDATE: The Redditors claim that the silver thing is fake, and an attempt to divert the GameStop rebellion. Interesting if true. Somebody is already going full COINTELPRO on these guys... 

Gaming the system

I don't *entirely* understand this article, but it seems some young Internet trolls have manipulated the US stock exchange!

They simply used the tactics of the established stock brokers and speculators against them. The whole thing seems completely irrational (a bit like that old Dutch tulip craze?), but somehow that's the point. The trolls, who are presumably libertarian, have managed to demonstrate the batshit crazy nature of capitalism...

The irony. 

"A coordinated attack"
