      Yeah, why try doing anything, right? Action only counts when everybody does it! You, puny little human, are worthless. Your ideas not worth repeating. Don’t ever try and organise anything. It’s not worth it. \s

      Stop being a pawn for the rich.

        Thanks friend! I share that link everywhere I go.

        The number of people needed is huge, but it’s more like ~3% of the population. Strike cards and a critical mass of participants are key for us working people.

      A general strike would be amazing, but it’s not realistic. Even just having say 25% of workers out for a few days puts strain on the system. Same with limiting spending. If even 25% of the country spends only on essentials, then that’ll translate to a couple percentage points of loss to major corporations (not all of course, but some major ones).

      It’s not about a silver bullet, it’s about inflicting enough paper cuts that it starts to hurt. No one thing will be 100% effective.
