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.
You are correct to point out that change cannot be forced without some sacrifice. Our forbearerers camped out for years in West Virginia, lived in tents in the mountains as striking coal miners, and endured gunfights and ultimately machine gun fire and bombs in the Battle of Blair Mountain.
They lost the battle.
But they scared power and within a generation reforms like the weekend and the 8 hour workday were passed into law. Thank you coal miners and the United Miners Association that supported them with union dues.
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
I wish I wasn’t serious. It’s not sarcasm when it’s the bald face truth.

I appreciate your recognition of our humanity.
