Don’t y’all see? WEAPONIZE THIS. The entire system relies upon your participation and they cannot force you to comply, only threaten you with deprivation if you don’t. And you’re already suffering deprivation, aren’t you? You’re not paid enough to live comfortable anyway. You can’t afford the stuff they want you to buy anyway. So why keep running on the same fucking treadmill?

Remember how the pandemic just scared the shit out of everyone? How having less consumers and less employees killed off entire industries? And that was by accident. Do you get that if you simply stopped buying anything but survival stuff you could tank these companies?

They don’t think the way you do. They’re beholden to shareholders who demand not only a return on investment but perpetual growth, and who are skittish as newborn colts. If you can reduce sales for a given company in a given year by 10%, you’ve fucked them. Doesn’t matter how many billions they make, you’re still spooking their investors and the market, which is based on absolutely nothing but vibes. Literally nothing else. You can cause chaos by causing doubt. The best part is, you can just straight up say that’s what you’re doing and it won’t make any difference.

General labor and consumer strikes will absolutely wreak havoc. They’ll go on CNN and rant like lunatics: BUY STUFF! JUST BUY ANYTHING! AND COME TO WORK! Because they can arrest you for protesting and they can arrest you for sabotaging pipelines, but they cannot arrest you for not buying shit and not going to work.

You would have to face the possible consequences, but would you rather be scared and stressed because some rich asshole decided to wring another dollar profit out of you or because you were standing up against fascism and trying to turn humans into machines fit only to work and die?

General strikes in 2025. Decide to do it and do it.
