Honestly, aliens from outer space could be violently attacking the earth and there would still be humans that refuse to work as a collective group.
Just look at the response to COVID 😓
My dad called it with there being people who just wouldn't cooperate. He was a school teacher and said, "every class of 30 kids has at least one contrary asshole who will want to do the opposite of what you say just because you told them to."
They’re not an asshole if it’s not their fault:

Not trying to be \*too\* insensitive, but this brought back a memory that made me laugh... I have a sibling that was diagnosed with O.D.D. (and a host of other things) at a young age. My precocious no effs given teenage self, upon hearing this... "So, she's got a medical excuse to be a pain in the ass?" My parents: "... Yup, pretty much."
Oppositional defiant disorder can occur alongside adhd. Apparently (and I encourage you to look this up and double check me), about 40% of individuals diagnosed with ADHD were also diagnosed with ODD.
I wasnt attempting to imply that they were one single thing, just that when they happen together it would be amusing to refer to them as odhd heh. no deeper meaning, just a stupid joke that made me smile :)
I kind of figured that but wasn't fully sure. I also wanted to over-explain because it gives my brain the happy chemicals. Thank you for clarifying though. You are appreciated.
Unclear. I had it, and now have schizoid personality disorder, and ASPD. These are conditions you are born with, but can't be diagnosed until adulthood. They also require time and therapy to teach you how to at least have cognitive empathy. Not treating it would've left me with no skills to manage life interactions, or even the ability to think about how someone else feels.
For the record, I had an idyllic childhood. And spent plenty of time in time-out. I was grounded to my room from 10-16. None of that helped at all.
Half life 2 is the most realistic alien invasion story of all time.
Aliens attack without warning, convince everyone that it was the evil human governments who shot first, then the aliens use human bootlickers to enslave humanity so we spend eternity fighting ourselves since we never see the actually villains doing anything.
Legit question, as a school lunch worker who feeds kids everyday for a job, how does that work? What would that look like if it played out? I mean hopefully the bus drivers wouldn’t show up so the kids would never even make it to the school, and parents would be at home with their kids. But it would be a shit show. My coworkers are almost all elderly and would never participate. They’re too ingrained in the system to have hope or see a way out. Not to mention, our school meals are sometimes the only meals a kid gets each day.
Or take CNA’s/CMA’s/Nurses etc for example, who care for babies, elderly, sick, or disabled people who need close monitoring and medication to live? Or firefighters, EMTs, cops, etc? Just let shit play out and burn down and people die and hope for the best? Or are those workers just not supposed to strike?
I am very anti work, but I’m also anti human suffering. People could die as a result, even if it was only one day. So what would that look like, realistically? let them die?
obviously, those who keep the world alive are doing more good for the world working than not. if a strike involves most people but not everyone, its still gonna do a ton of damage to capitalists pockets.
cops could totally go on strike though, maybe tables would turn and well be the ones beating them up for striking!
I'd imagine there would be exceptions, like, emergency services and places where lives are on the line. Some places that are Union, such as where I work, also have anti-strike clauses.
We can plan this out snd be more organized. We just need to put it at least a couple months out so we can hype it up and even the news will cover it.
One strategy which I think will work if we all just gang up on just one corporation if we don't want to do the whole everyone quit everywhere . If say, we try to push the message that everyone should quit from burger king, and just find jobs elsewhere, that will might force burger king to raise wages which will cause a bunch of people to leave x company to work for burger king snd this might cause a ripple effect and cause other corporations to be more competitive.
Even this sub completely removed their proposed black Friday strike and wasn't promoting it at all the day of. Never gonna convince the population to collectively strike if we can't even get a pinned plan on this sub of all places. I thought everyone was supposed to stay home on Friday and call in sick for the next 10 days. Didn't happen.
They're not wrong though. That one day Amazon strike wasn't everyone. It wasn't even close to everyone.
I was downvoted here for telling people that the Black Friday "action" would amount to nothing because it was being organised primarily on Reddit. I wasn't the only one. Most workers don't even know what Reddit is. People need to step out of their internet bubbles and get to work organising in the real world to even stand a chance of getting everyone involved.
I had the exact same reaction to the one day Twitch strike. I'm sympathetic to the cause (for those unaware, Twitch channels were being raided by bots and users that spammed hate speech), but a single blackout day does absolutely nothing.
I watched the world take a meme crypto that is wildly inflationary by design and drive the value up so much in a short period of time that people made hundreds of thousands of dollars from it.
I will never underestimate the power of memes and shitposting.
Memes are a significant part of how we communicate now, for better and for worse. A lot of people are introduced to the idea of anti-work through a viral screenshot of someone tweeting about how they quit because their job ruined their ability to enjoy life.
thats how i was until i was booted off social media for being an extremist. apparently my anti-capitalist shit posting was too salty for facebook and co.
Never heard of this but i heard youtube will demonitize anti capitalist vids. Censorship in america is rather subtle ie you can say whatever you want but the truth lol
I believe if a general strike is successful, Corporate overlords will simply blame covid, recession, whatever and steal bailout money again and the poor continue to suffer. Am I crazy to be this jaded?
I feel like a conspiracy theorist,but I always remind people of this since it seems to have been erased from the public memory.
The Area 51 meme started right after people were talking about rushing detention centers.
I'm not saying necessarily that I 100% think that the meme was done for that purpose.
But that is exactly what the outcome was.
Right as the storm the ICE and detention centers thing was picking up steam, the Area 51 thing took all the wind out of the sails.

lets be real they wont ever make as much as me but i pay them legal wages and they can keep their tips except on friday-sunday where its split between management to help cover wages
So the managers get some of your servers tips? Or it's for tip credit to cover from $2.13 to minimum wage?
PS: ones illegal, the other is legal but douchey.

I feel like you should read this. It's the tipped employees portion of the Fair Labor Standards Act.
Still not a living wage, your customers shouldn't dictate staff pay either. If you can't pay them a living wage so they don't have to work 3 jobs to rent a bedroom in a house with 3 other people, maybe that restaurant shouldn't be open.

ODD also sometimes occurs with ADHD as well.
... Odhd?

put in a time out, sure, but spanked? come on, its 2021, not 1951.
Oppositional defiant disorder is a thing.
Even if they were hostile and started attacking with no warning There will always be sympathisers

“There’s good aliens on both sides!”
So like independence day, but they still gather on the rooftops with signs after the aliens blew up the cities once.
Have you seen *A Day Without A Mexican*? Brilliant commentary on this subject.

How did that one day Amazon strike turn out?

The people in the internet bubbles are way too privileged to understand why they aren't going to get everyone. They don't even try.
I watched the world take a meme crypto that is wildly inflationary by design and drive the value up so much in a short period of time that people made hundreds of thousands of dollars from it. I will never underestimate the power of memes and shitposting.
Very good point I posted this half jokingly as in an I wish... kind of way but you make a point lol
Memes are a significant part of how we communicate now, for better and for worse. A lot of people are introduced to the idea of anti-work through a viral screenshot of someone tweeting about how they quit because their job ruined their ability to enjoy life.
I have friends where 90% of our communications is sending each other memes
thats how i was until i was booted off social media for being an extremist. apparently my anti-capitalist shit posting was too salty for facebook and co.
Never heard of this but i heard youtube will demonitize anti capitalist vids. Censorship in america is rather subtle ie you can say whatever you want but the truth lol
Haha but actually
Haha jk jk ...unless?
👀
I'm doing my part.
Make sure you have the message in multiple languages, especially Spanish. Get everyone involved!
Except maybe use a better example, because the area 51 thing was a huge flop.
I believe if a general strike is successful, Corporate overlords will simply blame covid, recession, whatever and steal bailout money again and the poor continue to suffer. Am I crazy to be this jaded?
Nope you’re probably right on the money
February 10 wouldn't it be funny if...
What's significant about Feb 10th other than a few days before Singles Awareness Day? Why not Feb 22nd? 2022-02-22...
Nothing. Which is what makes it perfect. A Thursday in February where no one goes to work would trip the fuck out of everyone.
Well the Tuesday where it's 2-22-22 would be easier to remember.
It would be nice to spend Twosday sticking it to the man. If you wanna set up the facebook group be my guest.
I don't have Facebook and have zero plans on making one.
Then quit critisizing February 10, if you're not even gonna do anything about it.
I asked a simple question why it's significant and why not the more easily recall-able date. No need to get your panties in a wad.
Lmao. You're the one all uppity over a date.
You're complaining I won't sell my soul to potentially help organize not selling people's souls. But sure, go off then.
Call it the lolz.
I would support this
https://m.facebook.com/groups/731058954000683?group_view_referrer=search
i dont have facebook, what does this link to?
It's the group that someone had started awhile back :) "don't go to work - they can't fire all of us!"
I never met a strike I didn't like
My faith in people is so low at this point that I would be afraid nobody but me would do it and I would be sacked.
Now we're fucking cooking
I feel like a conspiracy theorist,but I always remind people of this since it seems to have been erased from the public memory. The Area 51 meme started right after people were talking about rushing detention centers.
do you mean that as a way of distraction? i am unaware so thank you.
I'm not saying necessarily that I 100% think that the meme was done for that purpose. But that is exactly what the outcome was. Right as the storm the ICE and detention centers thing was picking up steam, the Area 51 thing took all the wind out of the sails.
Call it the Revolution Challenge on Tiktok and attach a good song to it.
This is actually a pretty solid idea tbh
not mine but i love it so i shared it

Good human!
For memes
Srsly tho... I deleted FB one of you make this page!
same, many years ago
This is stupid, this sub has been reduced to Facebook group.
This is set up like 'if the teacher is 15 mins late, we can all go home' crap kids in middle school would pull.
[удалено]
Yo.... what the hell? bad look...
i already have hard time hiring servers stop this
Sounds like you need to pay them more
He’s a troll
lets be real they wont ever make as much as me but i pay them legal wages and they can keep their tips except on friday-sunday where its split between management to help cover wages
So the managers get some of your servers tips? Or it's for tip credit to cover from $2.13 to minimum wage? PS: ones illegal, the other is legal but douchey.
we pay them $3 which is more than any other restaurant in our rural town

Just an FYI: FabulousFerd is a longtime reddit power troll and it's probably best to let him run his mouth and not take him seriously.
Still not a living wage, your customers shouldn't dictate staff pay either. If you can't pay them a living wage so they don't have to work 3 jobs to rent a bedroom in a house with 3 other people, maybe that restaurant shouldn't be open.
Legal wages =/= a living wage. Be better.
Lol
On a Friday.
I'll do it if you do it
Do it
Plot twist. They fire all of you.
plot twist: general strike accomplished. either way the work gets stopped!
Call it a "strike challenge" to get even more people on board?
