When was the last general strike? And what would it ask for if it happened? I understand you’re a fan of the method and it can be impactful but that’s not a reason to state that protesting does not accomplish anything. | ||

It's not that I'm a fan of the method, it is that it id historically the only non-violent way for a population at large to enact change, once the government stops listening to the people. Protesting is very effective when you have a government that listens, which clearly isn't the case here, then besides a bunch of violent options, you're basically left with general strikes. | ||
