Apparently their goal is to "gently caress over the big guys" and I don't get how it's supposed to work because I'm a dumb dumb. If the folks at Reddit drive up the price of the stocks, what's stopping "the big guys" from selling their own shares and making bank?

The big guys shorted the stock and it out-performed, rather than under-performed and now they owe a lot of money

After researching how short-selling works I am laughing my rear end off.

there was a guy who made a ton of money on roulette at monte carlo in the late 19th century because he studied the spins and realized that the wheels were not perfectly true and had a tiny but statistically significant bias that allowed him to run up a ton of winnings before he was figured out

of course he needed a huge bankroll in the first place to do this

"Society is much like fruit. Once it matures, it is inevitable that it will eventually rot. As the economy grows, the private sector stagnates as elders and bureaucrats become more and more powerful... As time passes, this power becomes the status quo, and crushes the seeds of any possible reformation... such a sad trend."

The point is that the richies are finally losing and that is something we should all be happy about.

I'm pretty sure that's not true but okay!

Assuming they don't get bailed out of course.
