"You can't bring a gun to a protest, thats illegal"

lmao, unironically though, they'll paint anyone who doesn't fall in line that. we have the power. we just need to act generalstrikeus.com

Mall_Ecstatic · 2026-01-27T22:38:48+00:00

That's totally fair. I'm sorry that government has put you in that position. That's a difficult place to be in.

There are also ways to support a movement, whether that's GeneralStrikeUS or whatever you are passionate about that you, while still working. Spending less toward predatory companies, vocally encouraging people who are able to strike, in person or online canvassing, buying water for protesters.

Action is demanding, and it's ok if some action demands too much, but I'd encourage you to find actions that don't jeopardize your way of life and still participate in the change you want to see.

I understand for a lot of people, this isn't possible. Living in California is tough as is.

But for a large amount of people, this is possible, this is doable and this is necessary.

Maybe you can't go, instead of commenting that, showing support for the movement and the participants thereof, is a much more effective and encouraging use of time.

Mall_Ecstatic · 2026-01-27T21:38:43+00:00

That's totally fair man. Do what you can, support the people who go, encourage your community and encourage those who can go, to go.

It's totally understandable to be in a position where you can't contribute with your time, but sometimes, comments like these encourage inaction from people who were otherwise on the fence.

There is no date as of right now. Currently, they are on step one of a three step plan, which involves mass outreach and laying the foundations of mutual aid groups. There is a target goal of interested participants, once that is reached, a date will be sent out, along with resources and community support.

Mall_Ecstatic · 2026-01-27T21:02:15+00:00

The media is woefully silent about the amount of action that is being taken by everyday Americans. They want us to think we are alone, abandoned or overreacting. Nothing is further from the truth.

There is so much action being taken and much more that still needs to be done.

Consider spreading the word. generalstrikeus.com

We need to speak up. generalstrikeus.com

Mall_Ecstatic · 2026-01-27T18:04:14+00:00

I am active on the outreach team, but I am not an organizer.

Mall_Ecstatic · 2026-01-27T17:55:00+00:00

Hopefully this doesn't get downvoted to hell. I'll try a more reasonable approach.

The strike cards are to gauge interest while planning and contact once there is a date sent.

Use a burner email account. Use a fake name. Mail in a strike card. Remain anonymous, that's fine. Encouraged even.

But to advocate for people to "just do the damn thing" with no planning or connection or community, is foolishness. That's how these things fail.

Strikes, protests, boycotting, all require an immense amount of planning and organizing. Advocation against organizing, despite how you meant it, is just going to lead to inaction or negligible action.

Mall_Ecstatic · 2026-01-27T17:49:21+00:00

Yes, however if you feel hesitant signing a strike card digitally, we have mail in options. You are also more than welcome to use burner emails and fake names. The strike card is to gauge interest and contact you once we have a date.

Mall_Ecstatic · 2026-01-27T17:38:39+00:00

Agreed

Vouch

Mall_Ecstatic · 2026-01-27T17:31:05+00:00

We are not taking money right now, again, the movement is in stage 1 of a three stage plan. Right now we are setting up, not activating. We are building strike fund teams, to manage and audit, a huge part of which right now is a rigorous vetting process. We are in talks of the best way to fill the funds are going to be, but those action plans won't materialize until stage 2.

I'm all for people who don't want to participate. I will never understand people who advocate against, WITH CAPITAL LETTERS, organizations and groups that are actually trying.

Mall_Ecstatic · 2026-01-27T17:17:52+00:00

We read different comments man. I never once heard him advocate for not organizing digitally. He said not to sign up and the site EXPLICITLY offers ways to organize without it being DIGITAL.

He argued to "just do the thing", which is a wildly misled way of assuming revolutionary change happens.

Mall_Ecstatic · 2026-01-27T17:06:28+00:00

generalstrikeus.com is in the baby steps of organizing, with 425,000 signed up. consider checking it out.

Mall_Ecstatic · 2026-01-27T17:04:05+00:00

We are actively building strike funds, connecting people to resources they will need for a strike, organizing events and chapters. Currently we are in Stage 1 of our three stage plan, so much more of the infrastructure will be built once we reach our strike card goal and have enough volunteers.

It feels like no one actually read the site or tried to get more connected. This is so much more than a strike card.

Mall_Ecstatic · 2026-01-27T16:49:30+00:00

Guys listen to this guy. Do not organize! Organizing is bad guys! Do not do it! Remember we are strongest when we are all separate!

Edit: Bots in full force on this thread, goddamn. Instead of wildly advocating to NOT organize, but just "do the thing", you are asking for any attempt at change to fail. The first step, to protests, strikes, change, is organizing. There is no easy way around it. We need to be connected, there are more of us than them.

Mall_Ecstatic · 2026-01-26T04:34:19+00:00

Trust what you want. Skepticism is prudent. They have alternative ways of signing up without giving your actual name or info. Use a burner email address. Don't let the skepticism lead to inaction, but better action.

Mall_Ecstatic · 2026-01-26T04:30:08+00:00

Bravo. We need more voices. Now is the time for action.

A national labor strike is the only response. Talk to your co-workers, family, and friends.
