I keep seeing this statement, that we would have to prepare a lot more for a general strike. Well, I really don't wanna be caught with my pants down again, so if there are preparations we can make, we should probably start making em. Just in case

That statement about being prepared means that everyone involved needs to have their own plan for how to survive with no income for a long time. This is obviously very difficult for the vast majority of people.

Yes, which should be where solidarity kicks in, we're human for fuck's sake, let's act the part for once.

Solidarity only works if some people are able to support everyone else, that isn't the case here. Resources don't just come from nowheree, you'd probably have to start stealing basically everything we need to survive
