Edit: a second video explaining more in depth the problems with this strike. Some organizers have been pushing “across the aisle” style recruiting and trying to bring on Republicans and fascists:

    At some point you kinda have to move past the critiques of random people not knowing what they are doing because that's pretty much the default state of large groups of people trying to get out of distress. Instead it becomes more apparent there's a larger failure where the established orgs aren't offering any guidance or leadership while left wing educators, public figures, etc also aren't disseminating useful tactics to the general public.

    I would even go as far as to say there's a more instinctual rejection of existing leftist institutions developing where on the eve of a crisis people aren't going to them for support because nobody thinks it's worth it. There's more trust in getting a mob of people out on the street and hoping something happens.

      There’s a shit ton of information and resources out there on how to organize a strike. It’s just buried in shit because that social infrastructure straight up does not exist. “Leftist institutions” is an oxymoron. And who exactly are you hoping would be active enough on tiktok and discord to know this was even happening, let alone that it was worth coordinating with? What left wing public figures should have supported this strike but failed to?
