January 2021: A Senator blames "reddit conspiracies" for unrest at the Capitol. Former head of SEC says reddit/GME is a financial "attack" like the Capitol. What is actually going on here? Is "reddit" now the scapegoat for the collective power of the internet? Is this scripted? Are they scared?

How can "reddit" be at the center of these major happenings? Why are the admins like Alexis coming out as the "good" guys now? Good PR?

I always felt that WSB was one of the very few subs that felt entirely independent of the overall feel of reddit, like /r/conspiracy used to be, so I'm somewhat comforted this impetus came from them over any other sub. Perhaps the admins are jumping on the bandwagon so they don't get crucified by the plebs.

Either way, all the world's a stage, that's for damn sure!
