    What do these nerds think a strike is supposed to be, anyway? Do they think the bosses are going to look at workers striking in winter and go "damn they look pretty cold, guess I change my mind."

      liberals think strikes are when you go take a walk with a group of like-minded mealy-mouthed liberals on the sidewalks while waving witty signs with harry potter puns to illustrate why you're upset with whatever it is you're upset at, finish up after snapping some pics to show how powerful your movement was, then packing up and going back to brunch after solving the primary contradiction.

      Can also be applied to protests.

        Its incredibly sad how pervasive this view is in the West. I have broader tinfoil theories as to why...but it's sad, cause unless something changes we won't see the necessary actions to improve anything anytime soon.

          Well, when they used to go harder they got literally killed for it. The George Floyd protests burning down cop shops was cool but that's about as far as they're willing to let people go, but even then they might kill you years later like they did to the Ferguson BLM organizers.
