    Hitting capitalists in the wallet is the only way to get them to change course.

    Doesn’t matter what our ‘demands’ are or what they need to ‘listen to’ and we don’t need a perfectly written manifesto to protest these fucks destroying lives and our country’s support systems.

    Don’t fall for the whiners saying it won’t do anything. If the wheels stop turning, even for a couple days, it will hurt the things they care about (money) and send a powerful message.

    Is this bigger than just a single image? Any actual orgs or anything? Just the Newspunch guys and a few social media tags?

    If this isn’t going viral on mainstream social media, I fear there won’t be much use to posting it here.

      It’s more use posting it here than not posting it here. People here can see it and share on traditional social media.

      However the question is if there are any labor organizations officially participating in this. If not, this seems a bit weird. And what are the actual demands? Change to what? These are the bigger problems than the location of the post.

      Yeah, I mean look at what happened to Occupy Wall Street. You need clear concise demands, and shit that actually possible. And a general strike without major collaboration between unions and shite? Has there been any communication about this at all?

    How about you shut this shit down right fucking now. I don’t think we all want to suffer for another six weeks. Hell I don’t even think you’ve got another six weeks.

    Speaking as an outsider here but Jesus America, enough is enough already. The best time to act was three months ago, the second best time is now.

        I would argue you could stop going to work and stop giving them money today and people will catch on to that.

        Your democracy is on the line how many more excuses do you want to make?

          These things need to be organised and gain momentum. Fuck all people are going to “stop work today”. Pretty much asking people to risk financial ruin on the promise that “we will be there tomorrow too, promise bro”.

    Ya really think that those corporate dick sucking Maga dumbfucks actually do anything? We are like 10 people in total just Circlejerking about a revolution, and half arent even in America. A strike will do nothing
