A place to discuss politics and offer political commentary. Self posts are preferred, but links to current events and news are allowed. Opinion pieces are welcome on a case by case basis, and discussion of and disagreement about issues is encouraged!

The intent is for this community to be an area for open & respectful discussion on current political issues, news & events, and that means we all have a responsibility to be open, honest, and sincere. We place as much emphasis on good content as good behavior, but the latter is more important if we want to ensure this community remains healthy and vibrant.

Content Rules:

  1. Self posts preferred.
  2. Opinion pieces and editorials are allowed on a case by case basis.
  3. No spam or self promotion.
  4. Do not post grievances about other communities or their moderators.

Commentary Rules

  1. Don’t be a jerk or do anything to prevent honest discussion.
  2. Stay on topic.
  3. Don’t criticize the person, criticize the argument.
  4. Provide credible sources whenever possible.
  5. Report bad behavior, please don’t retaliate. Reciprocal bad behavior will reflect poorly on both parties.
  6. Seek rule enforcement clarification via private message, not in comment threads.
  7. Abide by Lemmy's terms of service (attacks on other users, privacy, discrimination, etc).

Please try to up/downvote based on contribution to discussion, not on whether you agree or disagree with the commenter.

I am honest and this is ineffective organizing at best, and most likely this level of non-planning for a global strike as the canva graphic says is a honeypot.

They need your planning skills then. Go help.

Cool I'm just going to organized 8 billion people to strike at the same time because a canva graphic said its happening with no actual organization behind it. Brilliant strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off.

The account who posted the dates is literally saying to other people in the replies "what is the plan?" This isn't a serious thing.

Go take some project management courses or whatever, you're the one bitching instead of doing anything, you figure it out.

I have no interest in leading people into what could very well be a honeypot. It's why I've shared resources on how organizing and operating strikes actually works and chief, no serious labor organizer would touch joke of a strike organization effort this with a 30 foot pole.

King isn't the strike organizer, it seems to me nobody is, and I suppose if there have to be negotiations with the organizations we're supposed to be striking against, nobody is the representative for the striking populace. Brilliant strategy cotton, let's see if it pays off.
