    I think its called game theory? Or maybe prisoner dilema. We are afraid that enough of the country is in support of the nazi regime that the strikers will lose their jobs

      It’s what everyone is conditioned to think and believe

      In reality, if they fight they might lose their jobs …

      … if they wait to see what else happens, they’ll probably lose their jobs anyway

      You’re damned if you do and damned if you don’t … if you do nothing, there is more of a chance of losing everything but if you fight back or at least protest peacefully and disrupt and disobey, there is enough of a chance that you and everyone else will have much more to gain.
