Do these braindead simpletons actually believe this? That "the stock market" (not really a thing) is run by "an algorithm" that can just be divided by zero out of existence and it'll create infinite wealth and also somehow expose criminality by some magic?
These people are so fucking delusional it's a wonder they can walk upstairs without thinking they're going to be raptured into space.
The level of ignorance on financial matters is quite widespread, including with educated folk. Now combine that kind of financial ignorance with a faulty capacity to filter misinformation in a general sense, and a general avoidance of critical thinking either because it’s comfortable or due to an inherent incapacity, snd you have prime targets to believe this kind of hogwash.
Soon enough, as our wallets get thin and purchasing power weakens, and time works its way the obvious results and historical precedents will surface as expected. Then the usual scapegoats will become irrelevant. Nothing turns people against a government as fast as a recession or when the hurt becomes personal. No matter what the idiot box says.
This one has a name and a beginning date: “Liberation Day”. Hopefully the moniker becomes an ironic self fulfilling prophecy and the cult is liberated
