What conditions would you require to start general striking? (kbin.earth)
 

I know for many people the main condition is that their work wouldn't be cool with it so would lose income or threaten job. in union strikes, a huge part of our dues goes towards a strike fund to make sure people get income when striking so i think i would like to see some crowd funding general strike fund or some sort of union type thing but anyone in working class can join & point of it is to organize and fund assistance, legal help, anti-retaliation.

I'd be down to general strike though, some massive positive changes in history have been via general striking since wealthy class freaks out.

what do y'all think?

the only media i care about is people or outlets supported by small donations from regular people & lots of transparency about their sources. if otherwise, they can go fuck off
