You don’t seem to understand what a general strike is
- nickff 9mo agoI just don't think a general strike should necessarily involve government watch-dogs; people like them and the media should work harder to amplify their messages.
- CamperBob2 9mo agoIf everybody doesn't participate equally in the general strike, then it's basically burning down your own neighborhood to protest something that happened on the other side of town. If everybody does participate, then it amounts to burning down the whole city. It's such a dumb idea that it's almost indistinguishable from an attempt at subversion by the actual parties/powers being protested. Announcing such an effort 3 days ahead of time while making no specific demands is just icing on the proverbial cake.
- subsistence234 9mo agosounds like it's a religious ceremony to you. the purpose of the strike is to increase pressure on the government, you're demanding actions that decrease that pressure, apparently for piety reasons.
