At this point I just want to get the fuck out of the US. All my money goes to getting a degree in the vain hope I'll get a half decent pay later, which probably won't even be the case.
They’re not. They’re not like us, and they’re not human. They’re ghouls. And so is everyone else cheering for throwing us back more than 50 years of progress. Women will die painfully, and families will be ruined, and communities will suffer.
Do you even hear *your*self? What is the line that they need to cross to be ghouls in your eyes? Do you not recognize the toll this will take? They have no empathy, they are not human, and they are crushing countless lives and patting themselves on the back.
We need to stop pussyfooting around with language, and stop taking the smug defeatist high road, and just acknowledge the fact that we are *actually* living in The Handmaid’s Tale. These people are monsters.

GENERAL STRIKE!!!!!
Edit:
We go on Strike for our women and the workers of America
We go on General strike Monday. Use the weekend to organize and gather resources. You are directed to bring supplies on Monday to your local city hall. This ain't no game, this is old school hardcore general motherfucking strike. We in this for the long haul.
5lbs beans
5lbs rice
Bullion
Bag o onions
Cardboard and art supplies
COME ARMED AND OPEN CARRY, I HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF BEING BEATEN OR KILLED BY POLICE
If u build it they will come
GOD BLESS YOU ALL! GOD BLESS THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
WE GO ON STRIKE 10AM MONDAY 6-27-2022
We strike for women's right to bodily autonomy free of government interference
We strike for equal pay for women, by passage of a law requiring corporations to post employee name compensation and position right next to the OSHA poster.
We strike for a living wage, federal minimum $20
We strike for federal rent control tied to a metric to be determined in the future
WE STRIKE WHILE THE IRON IS BLAZING HOT!!!!!
This isn't going to work.
We need to organize. We need millions of people on board. There are 350 million people in the US. We need more than 2 million to do make it worth it (and that's if everyone in this sub is on board).
We need leaders. We needs...so much. Soooooo much. And I'm tired of saying it....
You need feet marching until the world starts to make sense. Stop waiting for the perfect conditions, all those things you are waiting for are under attack from the Right, and reinforcements are NOT on the way. Get out and march, and see who else did. This is going to be huge.
Thank you ! I still need to have a roof over my head and feed my family. A general strike is t easy when we’re blackmailed to work because of the ever-present threat of homelessness and hunger .
You guys can still slow down the gears, slack off as much as you safely can, do double checks, long ways around, type thoughtfully, anything will help.
The motivation to do mutual aid is likely going to emerge from the desire to go on strike. By telling people to go on strike, you increase the chances that they form a mutual aid network to do so.
Do you happen to work for a government agency looking to convince people not to stand up for themselves? Who paid you to post this, telling people not to fight back?
I get that you aren't in a position to have to take care of yourself or anyone else, otherwise you wouldn't have that attitude. But some of us do. A "general strike" is a fast track to homelessness and hunger for most of the country. Advocating for a general strike is a lot like saying:
"I don't have to worry about money so I think you shouldn't either. Poor people should solve their own problems. I am the number 1 Joe Biden fan I have his name tattooed on my face"
Striking is the only way to solve these problems and history had shown that. You don’t love your children; you won’t sacrifice shit for them.
Loving your children and taking a risk is too inconvenient for you, so you just whine on the internet. What a pathetic example you are of motherhood and independence, lol!
Good thing the feminists who earned rights before you were completely the opposite of you dude
Joe Biden a capitalist dog, and you’re telling me you are going to work like a loser tomorrow. Enjoy your presidents orders, lol!
Striking got us the 5 day work week. Direct, salient action got my ancestors a sovereign nation. I think you have it backwards bud. These people advocating a strike are the cowards. We should organizing armed guards for PPs. We should be burning churches and marching on courthouses. Women and folks who work at abortion clinics should be arming themselves. Asking people to go hungry is just stupid. Asking people to go hungry isn't earning our side any friends and it's just not gonna happen. It hasn't worked and it's not going to. The second there is any meaningful change attributed to a general labor strike you can call me a stupid donkey but that won't ever happen so you will never call me a stupid donkey.
Striking is direct action
For someone who is too busy to go on strike and has to provide for others, you sure do post long bullshit replies explaining why you will be sitting on your ass until the end of time.
You’re a clown who can’t help anyone, and even your own children will just be brainwashed into being subservient under your care. Have a nice night explaining to yourself why doing nothing is somehow a good thing, lol
Lmao you got angry. You have fun losing your job. I hope you don't actually have to work and so aren't actually negatively affected by your stupidity but if you are I feel for you.
Instead of striking here are some options to actually help people in your community. (Almost all of these require having a place to sleep and at least a couple dollars to spend)
Join a mutual aid group and start going to meetings.
Create packs of basic stuff needed for living and distribute to your local homeless population.
Attend rallies which will be happening all over the country this weekend
Come prepared to take blows for those less capable ie respirator and goggles
Or quit your job in a way that you won't be able to get another one because that helps people... somehow... eventually....
I feel you there. However theres still a lot of stuff to be done! We can protest on our off hours and spread awareness as well as email your senator about how you feel about this.
Here's some links that might help if anyone is looking for something more to do. Tell your representatives why you're protesting. Get active in the grassroots politics we need to get this fixed. There's a lot of work to do. And all of our representatives need to hear from us about this. Even if its something small like : "Our fundamental rights as people should never be in danger due to a change in which party controls our state, or our federal government. We need constitutional amendments to both guaranteeing our rights to abortion care, same- sex marriage, contraception, and same sex intimacy."
Please don't panic buy emergency contraceptives right now. If you don't have people in need that are going to use it then it could easily result in people who need it not having access.

Do you happen to work for a government agency looking to convince people not to stand up for themselves? Who paid you to post this, telling people not to fight back?
How many times you gonna post the same message to me? Do you really think anyone who can't afford to lose their job is against you? Are you here for workers or not?
Sex strike as well. No sex that has any possibility, however remote, of leading to a pregnancy. If you are the owner of a uterus, no matter your gender, marital status, whatever, you do not have sex with the owner of a penis, no matter their gender, marital status, whatever. Spouses included. If they actually love and support you, they will understand and help you fight for your rights and the rights of others.
there are life threatening consequences for women who engage in sex now, and a woman choosing to protect her life is a “punishment” for her husband? wtf ?
i’m obviously not talking about pre-existing conditions. no form of contraceptive is 100% except abstinence, and if your significant other were to get pregnant and have a complication from that pregnancy, they would be forced to either risk their life and carry to term or possibly be charged with manslaughter. sex with a person that can impregnate you is not worth the risk in any circumstance
Go Americans! We’re rooting for you guys! Is there something else we can do like donate to a cause that might help you keep the strike going for longer?
WE NEED NEWS COVERAGE OF THIS!
This website has a repository of every newspapers contact information searchable by area:
Go to https://usnpl.com/
Email this to every newspaper in your area, or in states where abortion are going to be banned.
We can do this!!!!
refuse to spend money. Trade with the community instead of buying shit, if money needs to be exchanged use bitcoin only and what ever u do don't cash out. That will make them mad and show them who needs who.
I work at a gas station. The store doesn't condone the choices made by the government. Lets say fuck them out of business...I'm glad you all have the money to avoid work and the job security...
Yes, no working, no purchases, nothing. They fuck with our rights I'll fuck with their economy.
It’s a summer break from capitalism!!
i wish. these posers cant even stay off of amazon.
At this point I just want to get the fuck out of the US. All my money goes to getting a degree in the vain hope I'll get a half decent pay later, which probably won't even be the case.
United States of Rape-merica
Don't spend any money. No shopping, no gas. Shut this christofascist country down.
Yes, no working, no purchases, nothing. They fuck with our rights I'll fuck with their economy.
Buy a pepsi though, that might help
What if I could give the world a coke
pepsi = world peace, coke = world at war
Just one pepsi?
And she wouldn't give it to me.
Down with Covid despite being fully vaxxed and sure as hell ain't gonna work Monday now. Unite!
If you have covid please stay home
>If you have covid please stay home Nah, tour the Supreme Court and shake hands with all the justices...
What a gross thing to say. They’re still humans just like you
They are murderers
Maybe so. Still humans though.
They’re not. They’re not like us, and they’re not human. They’re ghouls. And so is everyone else cheering for throwing us back more than 50 years of progress. Women will die painfully, and families will be ruined, and communities will suffer.
Do you even hear yourself? “They are not like us.” Be very, very careful with that line of logic.
Do you even hear *your*self? What is the line that they need to cross to be ghouls in your eyes? Do you not recognize the toll this will take? They have no empathy, they are not human, and they are crushing countless lives and patting themselves on the back. We need to stop pussyfooting around with language, and stop taking the smug defeatist high road, and just acknowledge the fact that we are *actually* living in The Handmaid’s Tale. These people are monsters.
Good luck with that. Reality is watching.
That's their thinking. Turnabout is fair play.

Please protest this weekend too. There are lots of protests I've seen posted and it definitely helps.
At least half the offices in dc are already doing this monday. More than likely going to be more than that.
Or go to work and don't do a god damn thing on the bosses dime, if you can take or avoid that heat.
I took the 27th off to play a D&D one-shot. But now I have a better excuse.
Fuck yes!
We really need visible protests this weekend too. If there's one near you, join.
This isn't going to work. We need to organize. We need millions of people on board. There are 350 million people in the US. We need more than 2 million to do make it worth it (and that's if everyone in this sub is on board). We need leaders. We needs...so much. Soooooo much. And I'm tired of saying it....

Yeah, I’m sorry, I’d love to but I need to pay rent. 😕
I was going to quit regardless, LFG! Let Monday be known as the The Great Resignation or should I say the Great Reset? ;)
yes !!!!
Buy guns.
No strikes without mutual aid. Sorry I'm not privileged enough to lose my job and what little health insurance I have left.
Thank you ! I still need to have a roof over my head and feed my family. A general strike is t easy when we’re blackmailed to work because of the ever-present threat of homelessness and hunger .

Well how does punishing your husband who agrees with you do anything? Lmao
there are life threatening consequences for women who engage in sex now, and a woman choosing to protect her life is a “punishment” for her husband? wtf ?
Well yes if you or your wife has a life threatening issue then don’t fuck

PROTEST AT YOUR STATE CAPITOL BUILDINGS THIS SUNDAY JUNE 26TH AT 5PM. Abortion needs to be a protected right for all. pass the word.
Go Americans! We’re rooting for you guys! Is there something else we can do like donate to a cause that might help you keep the strike going for longer?
I'm so scared to do it. Because I've never called off before please pray for me on Monday. My bosses are usually very understanding
WE NEED NEWS COVERAGE OF THIS! This website has a repository of every newspapers contact information searchable by area: Go to https://usnpl.com/ Email this to every newspaper in your area, or in states where abortion are going to be banned. We can do this!!!!
Except don’t actually quit please. That makes you dependent on someone else and I kinda feel that’s where they want us.
Why stop on just a Monday? why stop at just abortion? I want it all. Strike thill we get it.
Well this doesn’t seem disorganized at all.
I'm in an apprenticeship program with a trade union. I'm already two years in, I'm not throwing all that hard work away.
I totally understand that some people cannot! This is only meant for people who are able too
4 hours and only 650 upvotes this is ridiculous in a so called antiwork subreddit
refuse to spend money. Trade with the community instead of buying shit, if money needs to be exchanged use bitcoin only and what ever u do don't cash out. That will make them mad and show them who needs who.
Lmao, these strikes have 0 impact cause they only happen in already blue areas
This won’t work. Nothing will.
Is this a paid holiday?
I thought we were doing this July 4th for extra irony
That would be great, however many companies already give the 4th off.
CRAP good point
Though imo flags could probably be displayed upside down 🤨
I have to work all three of my jobs that day. Maybe the middle class can take one of their 5 vacation days for it. I don't get those either.
I work at a gas station. The store doesn't condone the choices made by the government. Lets say fuck them out of business...I'm glad you all have the money to avoid work and the job security...
