GME stock is only the beginning. I worked corrections. When you lock 100+ inmates into a pod and deny them freedom, they become problem-solving machines. They get their dopamine fix by finding ways to screw over the authority holding them captive. Our society is such a prison.

This is what 1984 got wrong. People don't fall into line when every scrap of hope is ripped away from them. People get angry. Especially people saturated with dopamine addiction. When you shut off that dopamine drip and cramp their freedom, your pain becomes their new addiction.

The best part of this GME spectacle is seeing the hope in people again It's like our society came back to life, from the grave to the feast hall Everyone needed to feel like they can win That feeling has been missing for a long time

This right here is WHY it happened. People have been cold inside. They felt powerless. Weak dopamine trickles from porn and sugar were their only comforts. Then they found a way to strike back. The replies to this were people screaming “FOR HIS WIFE, WE HOLD”.pic.twitter.com/bdvOe9nctV

Americans need a holy war so bad. Even our atheists. We need a war against evil so we feel alive. We are desperate not to feel impotent for even one moment.

An important reminder. My nature as a diplomat makes me far too inclined to make a deal with things I should be hitting in the face as hard as I can.
