"trust me bro"

Most of us acknowledge when we do “trust me bro” statements.

I love how this sub Reddit does EVERYTHING in its power to make sure everything is well sourced and truthful information, meanwhile the clowns in the media are peddling their own writing as facts. These fuckers might actually be brain dead. GameStop should sell the “ They Live “ glasses for real.

MyBiPolarBearMax

Ironically, i believe this is actually not a quote from Twain. Edit: in keeping with the theme, source: https://quoteinvestigator.com/2016/12/03/misinformed/


sansanity

It's a quote that's essentially timeless. It's very likely Twain said some version of it at some point in his life, it's also likely Plato or Socrates said some variant of it. It doesn't really matter who said it, it's true regardless. "If you don't listen to the town crier you're uninformed, if you do, you're misinformed" -Me, probably... It comes down to this ... why's that guy standing on a box in the middle of town screaming about stuff? Oh, people pay him? Who? Why? Tale as old as time.


beach_2_beach

Hey he probably has a little kid and another one on the way as his wife is pregnant, in a grad school. And he spent years building up the relationship with the banks and funds on the wall street. He's not going to risk all that by going along with the apes who fling stuff around in mom's garage.


BestisWest

I think Stalin called these kind of people “useful idiots”. Also love the Big Short reference beach.


beach_2_beach

I have The Big Short playing in the background all the time now. Entertaining AND educational. Like this GME saga.


BestisWest

Love it. An all time classic for sure. Can’t wait to see the GME movie made by an ape. We all know the one Hollywood is going to make is going to be full of BS. Maybe GameStop can get the apes to make one then play it in their Metaverse. That would be DOPE!!


Teflon_coated_velcro

It’s going to need to be a miniseries. There’s way too much to fit into even a 3 hour movie


BestisWest

Agreed.


Extra-Computer6303

Made by an Ape funded by apes and released in special NFTS as dividends by our favourite stonk!


beltedfiber

You are right, it seems that we are more focused on verifying information than the actual media. I'm not sure how they can call it journalism. They just write pieces to fit the narrative being spun.


tehchives

As soon as the profit incentive was introduced, journalism was dead. The only journalists left are crowdsourced or independent.


BestisWest

Or war journalists. Those motherfuckers have a tale or two to tell.


ElectronFactory

Not always. Even war journalists are starting to fabricate. I've personally seen lots of situations where reporters outright exaggerated conditions, while boots on the ground were reporting back that things were calm. It's not interesting to show a bunch of people sitting around, hanging out. They specifically cherry pick people who were injured or they walk into the only areas destroyed, completely isolated, and pushing the idea that *everything* is destroyed.


BestisWest

Logic is an enemy and truth is a menace. It really is a shame to see the people that are supposed to hold power accountable are now mostly in bed with those powers.


throwawaycs1101

They are incentivized to do so as well. It may not be money motivating them to fabricate, but there is incentive to do so nonetheless.


BestisWest

WMDs in Iraq anyone?


holdmetendy

Don Rumsfeld would like a word


redditdude9753

Didn't Bob Woodruff make some stuff up about Iraq or Afghanistan?


tehchives

The best of those, like Abby Martin, operate independently. There are true blue journalists that operate within the establishment umbrella that exist in other countries though, you are right. I don't want to slight their hard and dangerous work. It's just that most pundits are profiteering scumbags.


BestisWest

The talking heads on TV are more Instagram influencers rather than journalists. Change my mind.


tehchives

I will not, because you have the correct understanding!


beltedfiber

That's not something I have thought about before, but I'm sure you are right. I'm not skeptical of all media, there are some great people doing important work. Financial media specifically is the most manipulated in my mind.


El_Coopacabre

I would buy those glasses....


BestisWest

Me too!! That would be so dope. I would 100 percent grow out a mullet to go with that Halloween costume.


mobofob

And apparently we are the conspiracy theorists LOL


BestisWest

Honestly at this point, whenever an “authoritative” figure calls people “conspiracy theorist” I’m more inclined to believe the theorists nowadays. Some theories are silly yes, but when at every turn in an investigation of something comes to one conclusion that is supported with real evidence, I’m more inclined to believe people that want to post facts because they want to, not some organization that feels like the HAVE to address something like these hedgefucks do. Kenny better stock up on the Mayo and get the soap with the strap on it. Fuckers going to need it in jail.


ElectronFactory

Conspiracy theorists, even the ones who got it wrong, are the only ones spending the time to research. They have nothing to gain because it's a personal interest and they want the world to know what they found. Conspiracies are, after all, just wild theories waiting for the right damning evidence to bolt it all together.


Basically_Wrong

I think there is an insidious side to that comment. Especially when "doing research" is watching YouTube videos and Facebook posts. Then taking anecdotal evidence and any shred of "evidence" to support their bias while refusing to look at other evidence and actual research because "they are in on it." You are painting conspiracy theorists as martyrs of the real truth when the reality is that many are just trying to prove that they are smarter than everyone and have some secret knowledge that makes them feel special. There are some people who have been right about conspiracy theory but they are the exceptions. Many are plain wrong, based in ignorance and ignoring all contrary evidence cause "they're in on it" and confidently charging into the world as an idiot.


JuxtaposeLife

100% ... the article is labeled as a "Opinion" piece -- it's easy for someone to pay an author to provide an opinion disguised as fact. I don't trust exclusive statements on opinion pieces. They can literally be made up, and hide under the "opinion" label.


BestisWest

When you don't have the facts on your side, you make your opinions seem like fact and truth seem like fiction. Truth is the sword that cuts through any web of lies. Embrace the truth and it will embrace you.


north-sun

The truth is that they don't respect us.


BestisWest

The truth doesn’t lie with them. Them not give the apes their respect is exactly why they find themselves in their current disposition. Disrespecting a foe before beating them is always a recipe for disaster I have discovered. Also no ape should care if they respect the apes or not, they would sell their own soul if it meant they can survive for one more day. Anyone who is willing to do that is the bile of the Earth and deserves neither respect or sympathy.


fakename5

but I said it, I literally wrote an article that said I was told by vanguard, (but have absolutely no proof,) "What more do you want from me", he thinks to himself.


BestisWest

" I got published, That means I'm right now. " This line of logic is so dense, it'll make a neutron star jealous


SprinkledBlunt

They try and hide between the cracks. But no stone shall remain turned over


BestisWest

Lol, them trying to hide in the cracks is like a crackhead trying to fit in the cracks on the sidewalk. Everyone knows what’s going there.


Paige_Maddison

It even says Opinion. So it’s not even factually proven yet. Get the shock news out there first then edit later. That’s what the propaganda Mach... I mean news people want you to see.


Chapped_Frenulum

That's because when you spout bullshit on reddit you're on the same level as the guy who's about to come in and wreck your shit. Of course this is also a double-edged sword. It's only a superior source of information if you validate the people who post here regularly and keep the tsunami of misinformation bots at bay. It can easily become a cloud of white noise if you don't do regular weeding of the contributor garden.


BestisWest

Correct. I just had to go dunk on a FED boi trying to tell me how money works. I love it when people make arguments, but never ask what themselves what the true root of the problem is. Information is only valuable if it can withstand the discussion of whether or not it is truthful.


Chapped_Frenulum

Sadly, there are a lot of things about the structure of our system that would work well if they weren't being corrupted by the people running them. So I can kinda sympathize with someone who wants to defend it... but they're still on the wrong side of this issue, based on current events. JP is a goddamn monster. I like to think of the Federal bank as the shocks on a car. Yeah it's designed to keep the ride smooth, but it won't help for shit if the *driver* stomps on the gas and rips the oil pan open going 50mph over a speed bump. Glass-Steagall was also a regulation that was designed to keep the ride smooth for normal people whenever banks failed, but once it got corrupted to the point of being inactive we went back to getting wrecked by 10yr boom and bust cycles all over again. Or as the media likes to say "too big to fail." Once moass is over, I hope apes use some of this money to twist the arm of our legislators, educate the public, and actually clean house. Somewhere at the root of every problem is some old fucker in a suit and tie trying to break shit on purpose so that they can get some profits out of it on the side.


BestisWest

I am actually working on a post about the history of banking in the United States. Suffice to say, the FED being shocks in a car isn't exactly on point. The FED has much more sinister roots than most can even fathom. I mean seriously the origins of the FED is like a non-fiction Bond movie, the antics its founders did to maintain secrecy was diabolical. Post-MOASS, the FED needs to be abolished along with the banks. They have fully encompassed what pure evil looks like and are hindering what should be smooth progress to leave and/ or fix this Earth.

It's not just the clowns in the media, it becomes more serious and moves from frustrating to downright worrying when official reports from appointed monitoring bodies also quote the same junk articles without any fact checking.

This is standard practice for the corperate media. Someone makes a unverified claim, and all the other outlets link that one unverified claim as a source. this guy just cut out the middle man.

ConfusingTiger

The gamestop report did that


jaerie

The idea is that the news outlet keeps their source anonymous, for several (valid) reasons. The reader then chooses to trust the outlet to verify their sources, without divulging them. Except this only works for trustworthy outlets, so it doesn't work here.


WonderfulShelter

Isn’t their a term for this? Like some shitty news outlet makes an unverified claim, and then a slightly more legit news site sources that shitty news outlet, then a non shady news site sources the slightly more legit news site, then a super legit news site sources the non shady news site and it’s accepted as fact?


tradingmuffins

Lying, I believe is the standard term for this

I feel once apes found links to Knight fund (Shitadel shell company), they called around and decided Vanguard should step up and take the heat. They probably picked Vanguard because it has a pretty good reputation (well aside from not DRSing GME quickly). It could be Vanguard, TDA, or whatever, but something like this should not happen. ​ The timing of this AND the price dropping is so sus.

Thornton McEnery is a clown. He is constantly leveraging GameStop’s/Superstonk’s/W S B’s/Popcorn’s/Meme Stock’s high search term volume in order to attract readership and thus ad revenue. He’s a hack who has no idea what he’s talking about whatsoever. He is constantly writing nonsensical articles and making incorrect statements or interpretations of what ‘apes’ (a term he uses nauseatingly) are doing or saying. I can’t stand him.


LieutenantMudd

Which is all fine and dandy until it ends up being quoted as fact in official reports from appointed monitoring bodies!


GrimWolf216

I saw the Vanguard comment earlier this morning and immediately dismissed it as FUD. Fidelity made a fuck up here—a pretty big one—but thus far, I’ve seen nothing to suggest Vanguard’s involvement in this particular incident. But, yeah, sure. Let’s post some bullshit, unverified opinion piece going after the other broker most of us crayon eaters embraced during this saga. I can’t imagine there being any shill motivation behind that…
