Sign a strike card, baby https://generalstrikeus.com/ we’ve got a long way to go but I’ve been handing out flyers on the street… Spread the decentralized jeezus-i-wish-we-had-labor-unions word. Please. No really… I’m begging.
Labor unions are good, but they’re not the be-all end-all of wbat we need; they’re a moderate compromise measure. A good one, but if it atarts getting too bloody or hard to take a necessary internediate goal because the state deployed all its violence and disinformation, well… The state has already deployed all its violence and disinformation.
It does seem like the number of non-violent options are dwindling. I really meant that I wish we’d had strong labor unions for the last several decades, as I don’t think we would be in quite the same mess as we are.
If an action works, it will be defined as violence. There’s a point to playing the theatrics of an action, and most things are not best accomplished by shootin’ dudes en masse, but our opponents have taken nonviolence off the table, and pretending otherwise is masochist or suicidal.

I’ll participate, but I’m not giving out my info. I’d rather not be on as many lists as possible.
