Well if our system of paedophiles leading the country is going to be upended...

Hey, here's an idea: Lets not participate in a system that is led by paedophiles. Let us, in fact, burn it to the ground with all the paedophiles still inside.

General Strike. International. We can start out smaller and part time, work up to big ones, the more the government gets rough trying to force us back, the more and longer we walk off jobs and stay off of them until demands are met.

Create Unions of Unions that cover everyone, regardless of where they work, to bargain. Leaderless perhaps. We have leaders but they aren't even known whom they are. Leaders by virtue of their own character, for the unions, to prevent persecution. Maybe just spitballing on that part.

The general strike, spread worldwide, to China, to SE Asia, to Europe. We could take some real power back from these leaders using technology to prostrate us before them and fix elections.

And for international people, look for your local member of the ICL-CIT

Cool idea, but no practical way to implement it within the current system.

They would basically just starve us until we had no choice but to give in, or we just die.

How are you gonna do that without getting put on a list?

[–] hector@lemmy.today 5 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Let them list lists of general strikers, I will be one of all. We are already on lists just by virtue of being discontent. Computer memory is so cheap and vast they collect everything we've said or done, and use computer programs to make half baked determinations about you from it. But there is no escaping it, and it's coming for everyone anyway. We sill soon have social scores courtesy of the anti christ thiel himself, distributed to be used against us ALL secretely in ways we will never be told about or able to challenge. To pick winners and losers, decide jobs, government treatment, prices you are charged, search results you are shown, how companies treat you, whether you get that loan. All while they work to eliminate your jobs entirely to replace them with computers.

There is no other option but to go on strike, their plans are well along, and will lead us to ruin.
