Too bad it will never be enough all at once to do anything.

Getting enough people to agree on anything, especially if it requires moving, and double especially if it will cause any amount of anxiety… is basically impossible.

We could fix the entire world if everyone just agreed to do a few things and stick to it.

That's the spirit. Good sheep. Keep up the good work. /s

More and more, not paying won't be a decision but a necessity anyway.

"When injustice becomes law, resistance becomes duty".

[–] marsza@lemmy.cafe 1 points 27 minutes ago

Nope, there are rules on lemmy.world prohibiting talk about resistance. Shhhhhh

Like May Day strikes. If people just went on strike for a week, all this shit would be in our hands. But we can't make that happen.

[–] marsza@lemmy.cafe 0 points 1 hour ago

Well, it’s a strike until we get what we want. Not a week. They can last a week.

it doesn't need to be concerted, just hit a critical mass. as debt grows, there will be a tipping point.

I can't pay down my debt right now. I'm actively looking for a job for over a month with god knows how many applications. I've heard back from three places McDonalds, an entry level car repair job, and devil corp. I know I am not alone in this.
