buying and holding isnt manipulation

it is if it is an orchestrated group like the Monks Den.

if it were, no one could legally buy/hold a stock

that is some twisted logic. it is perfectly legal to buy and hold, buy and flip or short a stock as an individual.

once again, what part of this don't you understand?

"a scheme to manipulate the price or availability of stock in order to cause a short squeeze is illegal."
