      Sorry, the context is America is in desperate need of a national strike right now. Unfortunately, Americans will fight having to sacrifice anything, even if it’s their shitty work day. People, really I guess.

        What do you think a national strike would accomplish? Who are you negotiating with? What are your demands? How are you going to convince the half of the country that elected Trump that striking is in their best interest?

          Agreed, you don’t solve a problem with a strike without enumerating your revendications and objectives, there has to be a goal to meet. Otherwise you just get an angry mob that throws oil on the dumpster fire.

          You don’t really care about any of these questions, do you? You think you’re going to teach me a civics lesson, don’t you?

          I’ll hold my tongue, but it’s more than you deserve.

            Those really ought to be simple questions to answer, whether you deem me worthy or not (whatever the fuck that means). Any successful movement should be able to answer them in just a few words. It took you more time to be dismissive and snarky than it would have to simply answer them. If you could, you wouldn’t need a civics lesson.

            No, these are vaild questions. How are you going to mobilise the American populace when about half of them like Drumpf?

              You’re asking the wrong questions. You need to ask, “how am I going to mobilize the populace.” It’s so fucking obvious you have to be here in bad faith.

                Mobilize in which direction?
                You still haven’t answered what your goal would even be. When would you end the strike again? When you’ve achieved what?

                You want a strike? Let’s hear your plan to convince the 50% of people who have the government and conditions they want.

                Edit: it’s so clear you’re stirring the pot as you point the finger at us because we want to know the answer to a question that is a major issue for your desire.

                  The major issue isn’t trump supporters. The major issue is people like yourself who are so far up their own ass they can’t see that economic unrest pierces all political classes.

                  Also, you would rather do nothing instead.
