I don't think the redditors are specifically mad at hedge funds for short selling as much as they're mad about their general, malicious, selfish greed. I feel the same way. Short sell all you want, but when you buy up exclusive control of the government, demand giant bailouts when you lose a bet and fight to keep wages below what is needed just to survive, you're scum in my book.
