Oh boy someone mentioned a general strike, time for the suspiciously ever-present comments immediately denouncing the concept as pointless, as if it wouldn't be fucking hilarious to make the
s squirm for the sake of itself
when people trash it it's usually because of 1. a lack of union involvement and 2. a lack of strong and advance planning, both of which are not an issue here, and both of which have to led to the complete failure of all the random "general strikes" that are declared every couple months
imo any even modestly credible mention of a general strike should immediately be fanned like a flame, even if it's obvious it's not going to lead to any greater improvement for those performing the strike, it will make lines go down and pigs squirm even a little bit and that's good enough for me, spitting in the eye of the titans crushing us underfoot, and the more often it happens the better

This might end up being an absolutely bloody event given what Project 2025 just said about their intent to use violence against the left as they prosecute their 2nd American Revolution
