    General strikes should have happened months ago. You’re actively letting Maga normalize miltary troops quelling protests.

    There is nothing to be done if your head is stuck in the old world, which is where 98% of Americans still live.

    All I’ve seen on social media are two distinct camps: someone help us, please we don’t want this, and are you fucking crazy I have a family and a job I cannot do anything.

    Enjoy the fascism, you’ve earned it. You’ll just have to learn your lesson the hard way, a la climate change. This is only a sneak preview of what happens when you ignore the obvious for too long.

      Exactly they are at war and don’t want to do anything. Oh well they deserve what they get.

        They got really, really fat, drunk and horny off the American exceptionalism post-WW2, and they never came down from the high.

        This is that, catching up with them. They’re not taking it well. Most of them still refuse to believe it.

      Strikes no longer work in this Country. The strike would have to be until something happens. Like a hunger strike. The end is death Unless change. But I think we all know that isn’t going to happen
