ID: photo of actor Sinbad in a neon pink frame, he has a wide slightly awkward smile, and has his hand out to gesture asking a question, above in pink neon letters it says: “Real talk!” and in the frame next to the photo it says in plain black text: “so are we going to overthrow the fucking government or what?”, with his signature bellow

    It’s like, ok no revolution, how about a strike?

    A strike? but my mouth is firmly situated on the teet of this authoritarian regime and if I release it will make them sooo mad!

    “A strike, but we will need time to prep!” Didn’t you say that when we talked about striking during covid? Why didn’t you prep? You have no intention on prepping do you?"

    A strike? But who will orginize it and spread the word? Someone’s got to do all the thinking and it certainly won’t be me!

      Nice straw men you have there. Have an actual argument against a strike: rent is due.

        These are all arguments I’ve recieved. Would you like me to introduce the strawmen to you?

        Rent being due is the exact reason to strike. If we pulled off a general strike that went national do you think the strike would end without addressing the damages its caused?

        It’s what ever. If you don’t have the appetite to strike, you certainly don’t have the appetite to revolt.

          do you think the strike would end without addressing the damages its caused?

          Yes. I 100% believe that a strike would either just fail entirely, or at best we’d get some half-assed “compromise” that would leave people like me worse off than before while people who weren’t at risk of losing anything tell me that I should be grateful for their “sacrifices”.

          It would make me the happiest person in the world to be wrong.

            It’s OK, you don’t understand how a general strike would work. Literally, if it happens, you can’t fail.
