The more I think about this, the more I find the r/WSB maneuver to be similar to Trumpism and MAGA. They find a "big bad establishment" enemy, "Wall Street" in this case, find loopholes in the rules to execute deplorable behavior attacking said enemy (collusion and market manipulation in this case), and then justify their deplorable behavior by saying they were going after the "right" target, the hated establishment, while attacking the establishment further for "being unfair" when it tries to repair the damage.

The substantial overlap between WSB and MAGA has already been established by several media outlets. To all the people on this thread cheering WSB on, how do you feel to be essentially cheering MAGA? Has it ever occurred to you that the profits from this maneuver may ultimately be funneled into MAGA?
How does that boot taste by the way?
