"On October 18 and everyday, we’ll show the world what democracy looks like," said one union leader. "No thrones! No clowns with crowns! No kings, just working people united in power to defend our democracy."
We’re working our way up to it. What you’re talking about is a general strike and it takes a lot of organizing. Sign a strike card! http://www.generalstrikeus.com/
Doing it on a weekday means it can be more disruptive to the status quo, but that also means more divisive. Doing it on the weekend means it’s easier for more people to participate and it can come across as more of a statement of unity.
I don’t think one is strictly better than the other. I do think this one will have an impact.
Doing it on a weekend helps build steam and commitment. Protests like this normalize dissent, gather resistance together, and provide an onramp to resistance. Going out and breaking a few windows day 1 is what an agent provocateur would say to do, it just gets the committed arrested and turns moderates against them
Problems can be identified by anyone. Immediately dismissing any sort of reasonable constructive criticism will destroy the movement from the inside out.
But please, continue shutting people down, you seem to know that’s best.
I find more people on lemmy of the “stop saying thing you never said” type these days. Its like they want to catch you out on a thing they think is being said, almost as if they are pushing a narrative…
I didn’t say “don’t bother” I said “Do it better and more effectively.”

It has to start somehow, somewhere. So stop complaining and do it better, or get out of the way!
Not a complaint, an observation but you do you
Keep it to yourself. You’re not helping shit with your post.

Lead by example
