Being real?
Half-assed motherfuckers that talk big shit, but won't do a damn thing when someone else is taking the risk of trying to organize shit. Like, motherfucker, a year ago, you were all rage against the machine, now you're fucking Taylor Swift.
Don't talk shit out at the shooting range like you're Mr Che Guevara jr, then be all piss baby when someone tries to get something moving. Wah, I can't. Wah, maybe next weekend. Wah, maybe if you can get more people.
Fucking useless motherfuckers.
Like, you punk-ass little wimp, GTFO. Calling motherfuckers bootlicker and capitalist pigs until there's an possibility of doing something. Fuck you, and fuck everyone like you
Hear, hear. That's some bullshit.
We're about to enter an era where literally the only kind of thing that might work is a General Strike which is gonna mean people literally having to plan a month of eating very little because they won't have income to buy fresh food. Packing stores of water in case your water gets shut off.
It's gonna suck real bad, but all these people are like "I want to get involved, but I've gotta go to work." Motherfucker unless your job is literally saving the lives of people, your job can do without you. You can find another job. McDonald's and Home Depot aren't making the world a better place.
Further, maybe we should all be bailing on these worthless jobs that aren't contributing to society and instead give our skills to Mutual Aid Groups. Maybe our labor would be better spent on our communities rather than selling worthless plastic shit and unhealthy food back and forth to each other?
You know how Amish communities get together to raise a barn for a neighbor? Yeah, that's what we need to be fucking doing. The Amish suck in a lot of ways, but they understand that they have to pool their labor together to meaningfully take care of their community. We need community-driven Habitat For Humanity on fucking steroids.
"We'll still be expected to go to work during the apocalypse." Yeah, only if you choose to bend over and fucking take it. You could also walk out of the fucking job because it's the fucking apocalypse.
Getting another job at McDonalds or walmart would not help a general strike i think. Are you talking about after the strike is over?
