    They only make money because of us.

    Lemmy told me the other day that isn’t true. Apparently they’re so rich that their money keeps coming in without us because… Know what, the argument was so dumb I can’t articulate it.

    We’ll never strike. Best these people can do is quiet quitting and mumbling about capitalism.

    But yeah, a general strike is the most powerful tool I know of.

      I mean, this is true. They can do nothing and probably make millions on interest. That said, it doesn’t mean a general stroke wouldn’t be effective. While the normal person would be perfectly happy with millions coming in every year for doing literally nothing, these people aren’t satisfied unless they are making billions off the labor of others while they do nothing.
