There’s plenty of local calls for a general strike, but the media (social, mainstream, all of them) are actively squashing it because they’re owned by the billionaires who are the true benefactors of fascism.
Plus the fact that close to 60% of us would just be flat broke if we miss a paycheck, it’s not an easy hill to get over.
The news did a very effective job of nullifying the No Kings protests. Hard to get a unified movement in a country larger than Europe going when it doesn’t even get on the nightly news.
While I do understand the difficulties, I think you keep underestimating how shitty it will be to become a functional slave under fascism with no civil liberties or rights.
Yes, being broke is a problem… getting killed for not addressing a cop as “sir” sucks even more

Maybe try it on a weekday… not a weekend when it’s so much easier to ignore
“Do it when people are working, not when they are able to attend.”
so you don’t know what a general strike is?
it’s not a party, the idea is that people don’t work or consume to stop economic activity
So you don’t know that No Kings was not an economic protest?
I did… I am saying this is why it was completely ineffectual
It was ineffectual because it wasn’t the thing you want it to be?
Ok.
It was ineffectual because it caused nothing to change… you still have a pedophile rapist president acting as a King with no accountability.
If anything, the orange kiddy fiddler is acting even more bold now than when you held those marches

The more you wait, the harder it will be
