    Look, just three weeks ago, complainers were bitching that Americans were too complacent, and a general strike would never happen. Now, a general strike is happening, and you’re complaining that it’s only a day? Even this was allegedly unthinkable at New Year’s!

    We don’t know the future. Let the momentum build.

      Gotta shift those goalposts.

      I’m sure if we ever manage to organize a national, indefinite strike, there will still be people like this saying it’s not real action so it’s irrelevant.

      Some people won’t be happy until they see bodies of dead Americans in a bloody civil war, but they just don’t have the courage to come out and say it.
