    Alright, so what should I do to singlehandedly save my whole country? What do you want from me? Do you feel good about yourself that you’re arguing with people in worse living conditions than you on the internet? I will quit my job and go out into the streets until a cop shoots me to death for sleeping on a park bench in your name, that will save my country!

      singlehandedly

      Nothing, do you know what the GENERAL part of General Strike means?

      What do you want from me?

      I would love to America to fuck off… but YOU don’t need to do anything for ME… you should be doing this for YOUR FUCKING SELF

      Do you feel good about yourself that you’re arguing with people in worse living conditions than you on the internet?

      LOL OMG the victim complex… this is another American Value

      I will quit my job and go out into the streets until a cop shoots me to death for sleeping on a park bench in your name, that will save my country!

      Maybe be smarter than the Pedophile you elected as president? maybe just spend a few hours a week organizing from the safety of your home?

        I work every day to lay the groundwork for a general strike.

        I speak to everyone I can about it.

        I have convinced maybe 3 people and I have about 150 million workers left to go.

        But let’s be more realistic. Maybe 30 million are already convinced. Only 120 million people left to talk to.

        I’ll update you when I’ve spoken with everybody.

          LOL when just talking to other people seems too much for you that you push it sarcastically

              Ok seriously, have you actually talked to people into taking any action? any, as in “stop buying from big corpo as much as possible” or “stop using Meta, Xitter, etc”

              Even writing to your corrupt Senator/Governor works something because it piles on the evidence of dislike.

              If so, you are already doing something and, while you alone won’t change the world, you are contributing

              Notice I am not (and never were) asking people to set themselves on fire on the Capitol stairs or sacrifice their first born, those are the exaggerations people point to simply to pretend there is no hope and since there is nothing they can do, they might as well actually do nothing.

          it’s a public forum bud… you just felt singled out.

          Maybe if you were a person actually doing something, you would have interpreted my comments as “uff sucks to be them”

              I do not… but either you felt called out by my comment or “care” about other people who are doing exactly as I am assuming.

              If you feel such camaraderie with them, what did you do for the 11 million people that were kicked out of Health Care by your rapist president a few months ago?

              Come on, shut me up and show me the good stuff
