Why did you pick the one thing that obviously doesn’t apply to you. Do what you can, is the point. Watch someone’s pet while they protest even. It’s a community pulling together to support each other through this, that’s all.
Understanding a General Strike What a real general strike includes: A true general strike is not just everyone walking off their job one day. It’s: • Work stoppages across multiple industries • Consumer boycotts of non-essential spending • Mass refusal to participate in capitalism as usual • Mutual aid networks to keep people fed, housed, and supported • Rolling strikes or sector-specific walkouts • Public disruption (marches, occupations, etc.) It’s a coordinated, prolonged refusal to keep society running for the benefit of the ruling class. You don’t need every worker to strike at once, that’s a myth. You need strategic disruption and sustained refusal across enough pressure points to hurt profits and control. To think a general strike is only people walking off the job for a day, getting punished, and going back to work defeated is not just wrong, it’s a caricature. Spreading that version discourages people, spreads fear, and stalls momentum. Whether they mean to or not, it ends up reinforcing the idea that nothing can change.
