You’re advocating for a general strike? Great! Except … then why are you disparaging the very people this thread is about who are doing exactly that, why are you saying “those efforts are useless” to: “Unions, faith groups and local leaders urge residents not to work, shop or go to school after killing of Renee Good”. That is a general strike. Even though it’s just one day per week for now.
I know what your next reply will because I’ve seen it many times. You’ll say it’s not enough, that everyone has to strike every day all at once or it’s useless. Nope. That’s never going to happen and isn’t how it happened in places where protests and strikes were effective. It doesn’t have to be everyone every single day, though the more the better. It has to be enough that they can’t be ignored or shut down.
Will enough happen here? I really don’t know because there is so much propaganda flooding the zone to suppress information, to scare and to dissuade people, and you’re contributing to that. If you really do want to help, maybe at least just stop contributing to that.
