For. The. Last. Time.

This. Is. Not. How. A. General. Strike. Works.

I'm convinced that these posts are false flags to give the idea of a general strike a bad name. A real general strike requires planning, coordination, saving for lack of income, commitment from individuals and communities. This would take a long fucking time, probably years, to put together. This shit ain't fucking it.

You're right in everything else, but not this. You need a certain amount of infrastructure to make it work, but nothing near years of planning. General strikes would be useless if they needed years of planning. The problem is the lack of infrastructure, but once you have that going it can literally just... happen.
