And like, I get that you have doubts about how far this can go, how much it can actually accomplish. But what I'm going to ask you to do is think back at how many times Trump has backed down, or chickened out, and who it was that pressured him EFFECTIVELY to do so? It sure as shit ain't pinko dissidents like me. Nor is it the Democratic Party. But when he started fucking the CEOs, the phonecalls came in right? And he chickens out.

You are weaponizing the machine against itself. It's good.

Also, a general strike and "shutting it down" are not either or choices. You can do both at the same time if you want them fuckers to scream like they're dying.

So this is a strategy that can take you a very long distance towards the kind of society you want, rather than the kind of society capitalists and their nazi thugs are insisting you take.

Not all the way - we will have to seize their stolen blood money to get where I feel like we, as a species, are heading. But a very long way.
