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.
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. 🫶
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.
That was a boycott? Why not have a general strike, shut down wherever it is that billionaires need to exist and see how long the us's descent into a dictatorship continues. Your last election barely saw Trump win, and his position on Ukraine/Gaza etc has already cost him support.
The fact that you refused to even do the learning tells me all need to know about you. I’m not going to draw the lines for you, it’s not hard. It’s really garbage like this that will keep things from happening. Until then … good luck convincing others to give to give up their livelihoods.

In order for a general strike to be effective, mass community supports need to be in place. All of y’all here lacking that understanding are part of the problem.
