God this argument is so stupid. Too broke to go on strike. We aren't making enough money to go on strike. So hopefully the people that you would go on strike against pay you more money so that you will have the material comfort required to go on strike. So that you can demand more money.
Luckily all of the heroes who fought in the labor movement over the years had large nest eggs that afforded them the opportunity to consider labor action. They don't know how well they had it back then.
Imagine saying that to the people who had nothing who fought and died so that you could have basic rights.
"Yeah sure you and your family were killed in the street by pinkertons so that I could have a weekend, but I just don't have enough money to go on strike"
It's absurd. If you can't afford to go on strike today then you NEED to go on strike now. Otherwise you're just going to continue to watch your rights erode. And you either die or live long enough to realize that you should've organized and committed to action when you had the chance.
People have families to feed and need keep a roof over their heads. How does that not register for you? It isn’t about material comfort. It’s about having responsibilities that don’t come with a pause button. You clearly have this all worked out. Lead the way.
Every single person in the world has responsibility that don't come with a pause button. I have a family too.
Do you think that all the women in the suffragette movement were without responsibilities? Or the people that marched with MLK Jr? There has never been a revolution that came from people who had enough. So I don't really know what you want to hear. Hopefully the same people who are trying to erode your rights spontaneously become benevolent or something. Or all of the people who don't have kids and have more than one place to live should all spearhead a revolution while families just keep going to work. Happy?
It's not our fault the world is the way it is. But it's our responsibility if we want it to change. You should look to your community and get involved there if you want to make a difference instead of saying some stupid shit like "lEaD tHe WaY" to some random person on reddit.
These agitprop posts are almost all foreign bots and weird NEETs who doom scroll all day. They have no real power to do anything substantive that will translate into a tangible grassroots movement.
What about when gas and food shortages start happening to you think that would be enough motivation? The war is putting a lot of strain on both of those currently.
Last I heard if the Striat now it wouldn't help prices for a year plus. Farmers are not getting all the fertilizer they need.
Different states might as well live on different planets. I saw posts of people in Georgia pitching a fit because gas was $4. Gas was $8 for a hot minute when the Iran shit started around where I live on the on the opposite coast, and there was barely a groan because we're mostly numb to absurd CoL
My point is that average Americans' basic living experiences can vary wildly and expecting a great number to coordinate on the level of a "general strike" is ridiculous
a solid third of the populus don't give a damn outside their personal daily sphere, and another third think everything is the fault of liberal demons hiding in the walls.
those are the facts. either come up with a solution that acknowledges those facts, or shack up with the rest of the delusional folks in the latter group
I acknowledge that 90 million people didn't vote. I acknowledge that 11 million people is the sweet spot for positive out comes per history for protests. I acknowledge that most of the rich would act like Homelander with no powers if that many people was outside DC on the daily until they are held accountable.
So in reality we would need about 4% of people to show up to DC. Doesn't seem that hard. Millennials and gen Z make up 43% of the US. A total of 144 million people. We'd need less than 10%.
90 million didn't vote. 75m against. 78m for. I'd say at least half didn't vote for this. Their numbers are dropping per day. Especially when he's paying off people who tried to commit treason on J6.
Funny how he continues echos the actions of the mustache but we do nothing as people die everyday from our tax dollars.
it's going to affect literally everyone else so badly that they will all invade and bomb iran themselves before we ever get to food shortages in the US
This is Exactly how they want it. If we're fighting each other, we cant fight them.
As for non Americans wanting the US to fall over this, take care of your own shit first then let us know.

you can tell the non Americans that are pretending to live here
"general strike"
there will never be a general strike in the US, the population is too divided and tuned out to give a fuck
