I agree with the strike.
but to whom am I protesting? what am I protesting? why am I protesting?
typical European doesn't understand so let me put it in a way for you to finally get it.
when your country protested against a war that was happening 7000km away, did it stop the war? did the fighting stop? how about your local politicians? did they even make anything more than a passing comment? did you lose sleep over it? did you skip meals because you couldn't stomach it due to stress? did you skip meals to save it for tomorrow?
nobody cares unless you make them care. you want a high impact protest that's going to shake them to their core? organize a 10 million man march to washington.
until then I think we Americans would appreciate you to shut your ignorant european mouth. you have no idea what it's like for us right now.
people are scared, they are running out of money, out of patience, out of hope. many of us don't even know what we're going to do because our government is attacking us, attacking the establishments put in place that protect us. we're coming to grips to the reality that our government was so easily dismantled.
worst of all we're getting a taste of the underbelly of American society. it's a major culture shock to say the least. a veritable powder keg about to go off. literal Nazi's marching down the street. White supremacists threatening citizens. our community watchers, who had infiltrated the cult are raising alarms saying something big is coming.
so while you lay in your bed tonight thinking about the weekend, or what you're going to have for lunch or dinner, or about your kids school play, etc -- I want you to imagine for a minute what it feels like not knowing what tomorrow brings. I want you to ask yourself some of these questions before you sleep for thr next three weeks. Don't worry, you won't run out. there's more coming this week, and the week after, and the one after that.
This is the part I'm talking about. The last guy marginally successful at that got assassinated by the FBI 60 years ago.
And our lives are purposely overloaded with crap, and we're so dispersed as to fail to collectivise. Individualism and materialistic values are so hammered into us so that any attempt to collectivise are self-thwarted by ourselves.
The few of us who realize what's going on can't do much other than say something. Hope we can connect people to say "yeah, let's see what's up." And it's gonna take a fuckton of effort, and it's not going to happen a month after shit really starts going to hell.
Thank you for spelling out the anxieties we all experience because of intense suppression by the elite. I don't think any country on this planet can look at us see "our wealth" and not realize that 99% of us don't have any.
