LOL - People aren’t going to strike as long as they still need to put food on the table and gas in the car.
Folks outside the US talk a good game, but they don’t understand the reality of “right to work” states. You can be fired at any time, for any reason, or no reason at all.
When you live paycheck to paycheck, that’s a big incentive to not strike.
LMAO. Ah yes, the infamous “I can’t do nothing because I need to work” excuse.
Do you have any idea how absolutely absurd that sounds?
Do you think all the other countries that overthrew their corrupt governments were rich people who could afford to not go to work?
You think you are somehow special? Well, of course you do, that’s the Americunt way. The Americunt exceptionalism. No one has it good as you and no one els has it as bad as you.
In an era where Americans have no savings and couldn’t survive an emergency expenditure of $1,000, being able to keep working IS a significant motivator.
Why is Europe moving away from the joke dollar and Visa/MasterCard?
Why is Europe mostly buying new weapons from non-USA companies going forward?
Why does the USA accept when other nations with veto power use it at the UN?
Because everyone finally realised what a joke of a country the USA is. However the systems that were built over the past 80 years since WW2 will take a bit of time to replace, but Europe is certainly moving away from the USA dependence
Why is Europe moving away from the joke dollar and Visa/MasterCard?
In other words, “we are still using the joke dollar and joke visa/mastercard”.
Why is Europe mostly buying new weapons from non-USA companies going forward?
In other words, “we are still buying joke US weapons as of now”
Why does the USA accept when other nations with veto power use it at the UN?
The joke USA enjoys other jokes and has a good sense of humor

In other words “we have submitted to the joke country for 80 years, and now we are grumbly about it, but we still take a knee to the joke country of course”
Americans used to understand it, too. The 1960s Civil Rights movement was driven by some of the poorest people in the country, organizing together and developing mutual aid networks. And they didn’t get ignored like these bullshit No Kings protests because they actually inconvenienced the ownership class by cutting into their bottom line.
Amazing what 60 years of capitalist propaganda and brainwashing will do to people. It’s like they have this unary thinking now, and believe that there’s one and only one option - go to work and obey the overlords.
They have already given up before they even tried to do anything. And they won’t try to do anything as long as they’re receiving paychecks.
Capitalist propaganda is so deeply ingrained that they believe money is everything, money can achieve anything, money is the most important thing in this life, and they must keep making money no matter what. Even if bombs were dropping in their yards, American priority is to make money above all else.

What a joke… 🤡
It’s not about affording to not go to work, it’s about affording to lose your job, and that’s what would happen in the case of a general strike.
The vast majority of Americans have no union protection, just 10% of the workforce as of 2025:

That’s down from 18% in 1985, and a full third of the workforce back in the 40s.

“My JOB!!!”
You keep letting this happen to your country and you’re losing your job anyway.
Why does your country do so much business with the joke?
Why does your country use the joke dollar for international trade?
Why does your country buy military weaponry from the joke?
Why does your country meekly accept the US veto at the UN?
It does?

And where is it that I am from Mr. Oracle?

The civil rights movement was violent.
Today, they pretend it was peaceful, they taught that it was peaceful for decades and the people believed their “lesson”
… and here we are

In America money is literally lifeblood: even the homeless still have jobs, but are too poor to afford housing/safety/medical care
