Reddit sucks

  • Let me know when it actually means somebody is going to face real consequences.

  • Your hyperbole is just that unfortunately. Hardly anybody in the US could fairly call their working situation “slaving” without insulting people whom were actually slaves or being oppressed like in Zapata’s case. Also, Zapata had to worry about his entire home and town being destroyed. You said it yourself, we’re a far cry from that with the luxury of going to a home and relaxing with internet and TV. People are not suffering or uncomfortable enough to fight.

    Ghandi once said, “Be the change you wish to see in the world.”

    There are other people as fired up as you. Go find them. If you live passionately with action and conviction they’ll find you.

  • You sound like a person of action. Make a plan and execute. Don’t have to wait for somebody to do it for you.

  • Uh, because money?

  • Exactly

  • That’s good to hear. It has to be sustainable. Some sort of union and/or philanthropy group of rich people.

  • Haha more or less

  • You gotta be willing to take the next step. You have all these causes and multiple ripple effects for the negatives but are resistant to do so for the positives.

  • I get it, but shouldn’t there be systems in place to support a more scalable strike? We could’ve testing that too. Something like a citizen’s union. Like Red Cross but for general strikes.

  • Los Angeles should forfeit hosting the summer Olympics with ICE around. I could imagine really poor turnout and a huge bill to pay to get things put together.

  • Love the passion but need actionable steps. How does a family struggling to make ends meet maintain a general strike? Are there resources to help? Food, financial assistance, strategies for making it work long term, etc.

  • I’m confused. Do you believe that you can have good AND bad consequences, or because there are bad consequences you cannot have good consequences?

  • Totally plausible. Shoot first and avoid consequences second. Especially with the lax or lack of regulation around AI. No accountability.

  • Yeah showing up as an armed militia would just escalate from ICE to national guard and then you can’t do much unless you can get real soldiers on your side. But we know how it plays out when a military takes over the government.

  • Yeah I’m only talking about ICE in their ford fusions and vans. But yes, once national guard is called in it’s game over.

  • It’s closed minded when you believe that the two are not mutually exclusive.

  • We’ll see. That’s a really closed-minded opinion.

  • Right move to not let it affect the goal.

  • I didn’t say there wouldn’t be negative consequences. In fact, I said there would be. I’m just curious what positive could come from it.
