Comment on YSK that a general strike is one of the most effective ways to push for change. There is a general strike in the works across the US for this Friday.

Except for this whole part

If you actually took the time to read my comment, you would’ve understood the context right away. I was very clearly talking from the perspective of the general public. Go to your average American, not even, go to your average politically active young left wing American and ask them about the ICE out strike, and I guarantee you that they wouldn’t know a damn thing about it. Ask them if they knew if the strike was even a thing, ask them if they knew the leaders, ask them if they knew the goals, ask them if they knew how they could get involved in the organization efforts, ask them if they knew what organizations sponsored the event, ask them literally anything about it, would they know any of it? The answer is a resounding no.

You can sit here and try to double, triple, and quadruple down on me being wrong here, but again, the results speak for themselves. You’re literally arguing against reality here. Actually now that I think about it, what in the fuck are you even arguing for? At least I’m providing criticism for improvement. I’m seeing something that’s clearly not working, and I’m providing what I think would produce better results. What are you doing? You’re trying to shut down my criticism without a second thought, actually no, without ANY thought. You’re going out of your way to defend an event that was objectively a failure. What for? This is precisely the time for internal discussion and criticisms, because that’s how movements grow… and you’re saying my criticisms carry water for fascists? Man, shut the hell up. You’re literally standing in the way of progress. If you’re not actually planning to help refine or expand the efforts here then just get out of the way.

Look, I gave it a pass with your snarky restatements. But this is just gaslighting.

You know it’s ironic because you’ve been providing nothing but snarky statements

Good. Hopefully you’re not busy being snide and gaslighting with them.

Do you seriously not see the irony here?
