While watching the GameStop stuff has been mildly hilarious (I mean who doesn't like watching the financial elite squirm?) it's pretty clear that a whole bunch of folk have convinced themselves this is ACTUALLY some kind of revolutionary activity. It isn't. 1/
I'm sorry to tell you this, but you don't own GameStop.

Honestly play innocent and ask your local AnCap / "classic liberal"/ Freeman... "whose behind it?" 8/
Which for most of you won't matter, you only sank in what you could afford to loose for the gank, so whatever lol GG 10/
For those of you who actually do have revolutionary intent and really want to nail down the message, while you're busy feeding the beast buy deliquent debt and then shred it.

Go on. Do it.
Don't reinvest into AMC and Silver.
Do a revolutionary thing.
Wipe out some debt.
No profit.
Just solidarity.
Go on #GameStonks, do it.

People who'd been getting fucked over got a letter saying debts gone, have a nice day.
A $10 donation can buy — and eliminate — $1,000 in long-delinquent debt.

Tether Price Manipulation Thread:
Tether has been manipulating #Bitcoin's price upwards for years now by printing unlimited, and unbacked $USDT.
This thread will cover the controversial aspects surrounding Tether, and how it will eventually meet its demise.
1) Tether is a stable coin that was first launched in 2012.
According to the company, Tether is backed 1:1 with the U.S dollar, although this isn't actually the case.
Bitfinex, and Tether have refused to show audits of their reserves, which is held in offshore bank accounts.
2) In 2019, The United States District Court sued Bitfinex, Tether, and Poloniex for being involved in a massive price manipulation, and fraud scheme in the crypto markets.
In a court hearing, Tether's lawyer admitted the stable coin was only backed by 74% cash, and securities.
3) On Jan 15th 2021, iFinex is supposed to submit documents requested by NYAG's investigation.
These documents will be consequential to the case.

4) How the scam works:
Tether can print infinite amounts of (worthless) $USDT.
They then inject this into BTC, ETH, LTC, (and others) to cause prices to pump.
Notice how during the months they stopped printing Tether, the market moves sideways or drops significantly.

"I lied about my basic beliefs in order to keep a prestigious job. Now that it will be zero-cost to me, I have a few things to say."
We know that elite institutions like the one Flier was in (partial) charge of rely on irrelevant status markers like private school education, whiteness, legacy, and ability to charm an old white guy at an interview.
Harvard's discriminatory policies are becoming increasingly well known, across the political spectrum (see, e.g., the recent lawsuit on discrimination against East Asian applications.)
It's refreshing to hear a senior administrator admits to personally opposing policies that attempt to remedy these basic flaws. These are flaws that harm his institution's ability to do cutting-edge research and to serve the public.
Harvard is being eclipsed by institutions that have different ideas about how to run a 21st Century institution. Stanford, for one; the UC system; the "public Ivys".
As a dean of a major academic institution, I could not have said this. But I will now. Requiring such statements in applications for appointments and promotions is an affront to academic freedom, and diminishes the true value of diversity, equity of inclusion by trivializing it. https://t.co/NfcI5VLODi
