Anyway, sorry for the long winded response. Again, I’m not condoning anything in particular. I’m going to personally go vote for the senile, geriatric genocide enabler, and then go home and cry myself to sleep. But if direct action (read: Gen strike) is in the offing, I am absolutely game.
In 1981, Reagan fired every air traffic controller for going on strike. SC ruled that was fine. Today, a president could bring a firing squad to striking workers and SC indicated that will be fine.
A gen. strike WILL be put down hard. Look at the response to BLM. That didn't even cost CEOs money.
This is the first time I’ve read an actual description of the perspective of disengaging. I can understand the sentiment behind it rather than being called a boomer (not a boomer), the status quo is my fault, I’m a revisionist, or that I’m too stupid. So thank you!
None of us should continue fostering any delusion, though. Voting (which, again, I’m planning to do too) is probably doing nothing but making the inevitable collapse worse and more prolonged.
I appreciate this, and I understand why people want to believe that we can just opt out and that it will accelerate an eventual uprising.
What I want to hear from is people who have considered what that uprising actually looks like and want it to happen. Like justice is on the other side of it?
