    The general strike will be May 1 between the hours of 12-230pm. Be sure to bring signs and do not inconvenience anyone/anything. This will show them who’s in charge.

      Lemmy.ml: “Waah, protests don’t do anything, wake me when there’s a general strike.”

      No Kings: “We’re doing a general strike.”

      Lemmy.ml: “Oh, fuck, shit, I didn’t… Um… WELL SCREW YOU, YOU’RE PROBABLY GOING TO DO IT WRONG ANYWAY.”

        “No, not like that!”

        Tankies will always oppose any movement that takes away their ability to talk shit about it.

        They don’t care about progress or tangible action. They only talk about those things to take steam out of any momentum that’s building, but when tangible action comes they talk shit about that too because now they can’t talk shit about it, and that’s unacceptable to them!

          Talk about people who will complain about anything. My aunt was sending me a bunch of unhinged messages criticizing me for not solving every problem in the world. She asked me when I’m going to get an electric car. I replied that I don’t drive. She said I should be able to drive. She’s in her sixties and has never had a driver’s license. I asked her why I should drive and she didn’t answer. It sounds like she wants me to drive so she can criticize me for polluting the environment.

            Sounds toxic, you would think someone would grow out of that by the time they’re that old, but unfortunately age doesn’t always correlate with wisdom. And liberals and leftists aren’t immune from having shitty personalities, either…

        You are not doing anything, you can’t even get something simple like a protest right

      Isn’t a general strike literally to be an inconvenience? Mostly for the capitalists, but still.

          Ahh, thanks, missed that. I’ve seen a bit too many people insisting that a good protest doesn’t inconvenience anyone.

            I wonder how many of those people are actually just tankies masquerading in order to manufacture reasons to complain about people actually doing the work

              You’re not doing work. You are not a threat to the system that created this mess, just useful tools to them to stay in power

                Wow, you’re sure trying really hard to derail the movement that’s actually happening.

                Take it easy, sweaty. The people are laying the groundwork to reclaim their power. Whoever you’re serving by posing as a leftist to try to derail any momentum is going to be very displeased with your failure, so you’d better wipe that worried look off your face before they see you and smell your weakness.
