It’s said you can bring down any government with just 5% of the population participating in a revolt. And, all things considered, the USA definitely needs a General Strike right about now.
But, alas, it’s just not going to happen.
Because of our K-shaped economy, the Powers That Be would just fire anyone who participated in a General Strike (at least in Right to Work States) and go about their merry business. The only thing I can possibly see that might provoke the type of macro freak out necessary for a General Strike would be if the AI Bubble popped in a really big way.
And, of course, more people being shot in the face by ICE for being at the wrong place at the wrong time.
But, for now, I think it’s safe to say Trump and fucking fascist MAGA have the upper hand and will continue to have it for the foreseeable future. Maybe if Trump really brazenly fucks with the 2026 and or 2028 elections…THEN, MAYBE we might see the average American getting all Bulls On Parade, but for now, it’s all a lulz.
