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:

I wish people here weren't so eager to take a giant shit all over the idea of a general strike, even if this one is poorly planned. It's an incredibly important thing to have in our regular discourse, and with shit like new COVID outbreaks, eviction waves, weather disasters, etc. on the horizon, we should absolutely be doing preliminary organizing and building labor relationships to enable a future action like this. Anything short is straight-up liberalism.
Yes. And it should be done with the cooperation of existing unions. And its organizers should have mutual aid funds lined up for bail and for supporting the striking families and for legal fees. And it should not court fascists in its messaging campaigns. The problem is not the idea of a general strike. It’s that this experience is doomed to fail and the failure will discourage people from giving it a second chance as well as get a shit ton of people fired
