Oi! Willingness to sacrifice is key. When enough people are willing to give up comfort and complacency for an extended period of time to defend ourselves, we’ll see progress. We just have to care enough as a collective. My military career prepared me for discomfort. Haha but also, totally, for real. - ThreadSky

People need resources to survive-communities organizing is a giant part of that.Go convince masses of families that they will have to risk their children’s lives (shelter, food, etc) for a poorly organized “general strike”

The fact that y’all are so willing to ignore community support is telling.

No, we are not ignoring it. That fear is being used against you because they know many won’t take action due to it. Protect your children by giving them a shit world? Compliance is death. Some of us are willing to fight for freedom. Not everybody can. Sitting and watching hurts children as well.

Irony in accusing one of fear following with the threat of a shit world or death 🤣

This doesn’t mean NO action.

It means EFFECTIVE & SUSTAINABLE LONG-TERM general strikes required mass organization a focused on communal support. If you don’t believe me, go ask your local union head.

My mention of fear was not meant to be an insult, it was part of a more complete thought I was trying to be brief. Though, I did take your comment as, “no action”. Absolutely not everyone will be able or willing and it HAS to be sustainable. Again, not trying to be a jerk, just succeeding at it. 🫶

These are *good* conversations to have. This is where we find commonality and identify ways we can diversify action

Absolutely. The infighting is not helping anyone. I think I took in too much yesterday - way too much. I should have signed off way before I did. Heh Thanks for being willing to hear me out. Take care.

I didn’t think you were being a jerk - my use of language can easy read the same so I try to remove any tone from these kinds of conversations and just take them for what they are. 1/

You’re right. And I apologize for my dismissive tone. I’ve seen tons of pushback on the actions we’re attempting to take and I let my emotions snowball. Not an excuse to be an asshole, just what i did. I actually just came back on to make the apology because self reflection is no stranger to me.
