I encountered an exchange a year or so ago where someone was encouraged to riot. They gave a very definitive, honest reply: “I don’t know how.”
Like it or not, like that whole Fight Club scene about how difficult it is to start a fight, I think the statement is middle of the bell curve defining. Only now, we have a younger generation crippled by internal shit, lack of unmoderated interaction experience, unable to even pick up the phone, so they’re not going to go outside to where people are. Just sit at home and hope someone else takes care of it.
General strike is likely the way. Less interactive. But it would take bank/mortgage and landlord support to not break the people doing it. An all in general strike.
