  • General strikes should have happened months ago. You’re actively letting Maga normalize miltary troops quelling protests.

    There is nothing to be done if your head is stuck in the old world, which is where 98% of Americans still live.

    All I’ve seen on social media are two distinct camps: someone help us, please we don’t want this, and are you fucking crazy I have a family and a job I cannot do anything.

    Enjoy the fascism, you’ve earned it. You’ll just have to learn your lesson the hard way, a la climate change. This is only a sneak preview of what happens when you ignore the obvious for too long.



















  • One good excerpt:

    In September 2006 dozens of wives and girlfriends of gang members from Pereira, Colombia, started a sex strike called La huelga de las piernas cruzadas (“the strike of crossed legs”) to curb gang violence, in response to 480 deaths due to gang violence in the coffee region. According to spokeswoman Jennifer Bayer, the specific target of the strike was to force gang members to turn in their weapons in compliance with the law. According to them, many gang members were involved in violent crime for status and sexual attractiveness, and the strike sent the message that refusing to turn in the guns was not sexy.[18] In 2010 the city’s murder rate saw the steepest decline in Colombia, down by 26.5%.
