I don't mind dudebros economics-splain-ing to me because there is a STUNNING LACK of Econ 101 flying around etc.
LuCCifer
I mind when they:
1) Assume I'm communist :|||||||||||| plz no. And if there are any communists advocating for stocks.... Wtf r u doing
2) assume my position despite previously stating exactly where that is (ie: I'm on the side of billionaires??????? = Very fucking no.)
3) misconstrew economics info to others despite my EASY FUCKING HANDY EXPLANATION AND
LuCCifer
LINKS RIGHT THERE.

To be clear though:
- I was surprised to discover I don't mind them treating me like a two-year old -- I get pissed as fuck when my dad does and it was THE biggest thing I hated in school but I kind of go "oh this is because others need it this simplified, I'm glad they are correctly conveying basics I don't personally need"
LuCCifer
- I don't mind them disagreeing about shorts as long as they're willing to acknowledge I'm using the correct definition and either they are too, or they're willing to look it up/READ
- I didn't my mind them disagreeing about every fucking economic principle I have (investment = good, kneecapping industry = bad) again so long as they acknowledge where and why
LuCCifer
I stand where I do instead of MAKING SHIT UP FOR NO FUCKING REASON OTHER THAN COVID BRAIN DAMAGE I GUESS
Exacerangutan
I mean that was a thing long before covid
LuCCifer
I'm UNSURE HOW I FEEL:

That almost no one is appropriately explaining and addressing the naked shorts thing??? Like.
Exacerangutan
largely confirmation bias
LuCCifer
Maybe no one knows??? Maybe they think it's too far into the weeds??????
LuCCifer
But I was really surprised that even ECONOMISTS aren't explaining it and that's a bit...
LuCCifer
I think it is the biggest point of the story tbfh
Exacerangutan
or antilogic, like "I want to believe X and I can logically see that X requires Y, therefore Y must be true"
LuCCifer
And it IS where even ppl who think shorting stocks is good for the economy (tldr their position not mine: "it encourages getting rid of inefficiency and waste" which is bs but anyway - also stocks are just gambling WHICH AGAAAAiiiiin...)
LuCCifer
Agree NAKED SHORTING IS FUCKED UP and no one should feel any sympathy for someone who got THAT greedy ahhh
LuCCifer
Maybe I need to make my own explainer?
LuCCifer
But also wtf is health. I need a nap.
Whatson
"naked shorts" sounds dirty
Exacerangutan
I had a long conversation with my Ukrainian Jewish libertarian high school friend last night about this stuff
LuCCifer
Exacerangutan : ? No I mean the gamestop and doge mania has this flying around a lot more for obvs reasons. And there is definitely a lot of... Assumption that I'm not an economist, I'm just some random activist -- I don't even mind that
Exacerangutan
he's at least becoming aware of the Socialism phobia trend in people like himself and his parents
Exacerangutan
where there's this impulse to scramble to the right whenever anyone suggests anything that even rhymes with socialism
LuCCifer
I'm just annoyed with the ... Bullshit. Yes. I'm annoyed with the bullshit.
LuCCifer
Whatson : it's VERY dirty
LuCCifer
Ah you mean the "anything that isn't predatory capitalism is communism REEEEE" but this isn't that
LuCCifer
It's just a "I like free markets and you have left-wing in your bio so you must be COMMUNIST!" and I'm like
LuCCifer
😓communists don't do stocks wtf are you smoking
Whatson
err, i meant the other kind of dirty
LuCCifer
Like MAYBE they're just bots or something stupid (oligarchs trying to keep the red vs blue working) but I think it's just.... Stupid
LuCCifer
I know XD they're bad though, nsm kinky.
LuCCifer
Also mind you
LuCCifer
left wing did it too
LuCCifer
"left-wing" - Because rooting for fucking over hedgies isn't "real activism" and it's just "billionaire in-fighting" which I redressed
LuCCifer
Also Ive seen more screenshots of women fucking up the blue hottakes on that but
LuCCifer
I assume they have me blocked or have sense enough to not get into stupid slapfights on the web
LuCCifer
So it's only leftist or right-wing dudebros (I can't seem to call them men....) feeling the need to
LuCCifer
show their asses /ahem
LuCCifer
Also!!!! Because the female economist professors and friends I have are ... Aware that I'm not a moron (LOL) and also aren't stupid themselves
LuCCifer
IT MIGHT??? be a little confirmation bias because I don't follow bad takes female economists??? But like again, they also aren't getting up in my grill with stupidity whereas
LuCCifer
LuCCifer
And it can't be ALL confirmation bias on my part because I do keep ppl I disagree with and like I said, I disagree VEHEMENTKLY on shorting stocks being "good" at ALL buuuut
LuCCifer
I quite enjoyed discussing it with ppl who knew I'm not an idiot and what my actual capitalist stance is etc.
LuCCifer
But I am UNSURE still on how none of the usual are explaining naked shorts or etc. Because yeah, too many ppl are misrepresenting things entirely so maybe that's just minutiae????
LuCCifer
But again
LuCCifer
It's minutiae that MOST unites everyone (LOL)
LuCCifer
Ohhhh the brain damage existed before covid -- yeah but it IS worse now and we both know certain dumbdumbs are more prone to it because well baked alaska -cough-
LuCCifer
Ugh I gotta sleep fff
LuCCifer
LuCCifer
I'm trying to explain why naked shorting is illegal and getting called economically illiterate. Kyle hasn't texted all day. I'm sick af. /Mope mope
LuCCifer
The amount of econ books I've read just....
LuCCifer
my dad making learn stocks when I was five and dragging me to shareholder meetings....
LuCCifer
I'd be. Okay. If like. Someone adequately explained it better than me but they don't?
LuCCifer
Also that mice is freaking me out
LuCCifer
And I'm emo
LuCCifer
I always take failure to explain things well as my fault -- especially economics because ... It's my life's mission to reform lol but. Really not my monkeys, not my circus
LuCCifer
Hmmmm Kyles phone went to voicemail. /Chews lip
LuCCifer
Whatson call / text whenever you get this
LuCCifer
It turns out I've gotten used to hearing from you and now no Kyle is like ABSOLUTE SHIT. You make everything okay. /emos more
LuCCifer
Ugh it's so stupid. Lots of people got it when I explained it and called to ask me about it. idk. Probably just health and general "impotence"
LuCCifer
Maybe I should practice more on my dad? He always sees me as the 4-year old he had to teach everything so I struggle to say what I mean
LuCCifer
The Asperger's (him) doesn't help (LOL) even though I usually deal with others okay???? Ahhhhhhhhhhhh
LuCCifer
Maybe I just need to cry and get rid of toxins. Idfk
LuCCifer
https://www.cnbc.com/... This is exact opposite of what they should do!!!????
LuCCifer
/ducks into a ball
LuCCifer
Oh!! I know why! Because.

1) I always think I must be wrong. I like being wrong. But when it's important and I'm not wrong just bad at explaining, I panic.
LuCCifer
2) I'm not wrong.
3) I WILL change the whole of human history (not single-handedly!!!) And the friction and inertia can't stop me.
LuCCifer
And like my mom said, I don't need to explain it to EVERYONE. I just have to enable them.
LuCCifer
I do wish I could do it more Batman and literally punching though. :| Emotions are annoying.
