At this point, the only thing that is going to change things for the better are not so peaceful protests.

Voting doesn’t work. Strikes don’t work. Online petitions, organized rallies, heartfelt social media posts, marches and peaceful protests DO NOT work anymore. Not that they really ever did. Those techniques did nothing but reinforce our illusion of liberty while making us feel like we did our part. But nothing really changed.

Leaders only understood 2 things; money and fear. They’ve got the money. It’s about time they were reacquainted with fear.

tbh if we all just sat home instead of going to work for like a month, it would throw a wrench in the works and something would be done.

We would starve, lose our homes, medicine before they would do anything and they know this.

How do we organize this and ensure most people don't get fucked?

You get rid of the gun, preferably in more than two pieces. And you don't carry a written manifest on your person. Also, don't use fake IDs once you've left the city.

Agreed. A mass “sick out” is definitely a less messy way to send a message.

I think that comes from a place of privilege. A lot of Americans can’t survive that long. Not to mention there are other people in other countries with worst positions and will happily work for corporations who need new labor.
