Huh?

Obviously, my utmost respect to the brave workers and soldiers of all the ethnicities in the USSR that contributed to the slaughter of the Nazi monster, including not just Russians but Belarusians, Ukrainians, Kazakhs, Maris... Belarus and Ukraine took the worst part because they were occupied by the Nazis who had a policy of extermination of the Slavic peoples, it's truly horrifying what the people of said republics had to endure.

Good moment to join a union by yourself (and/or a socialist org like the PSL) and ask or directly organize yourself together with such orgs!

By Soviet sweat, blood and tears. The Soviet Union lost an unimaginable 25 million lives (with some regions like Belarus losing ONE IN THREE PEOPLE) in the struggle against Nazism. Say what you will about the Soviet Union but they are the liberators of Europe and they will have my eternal gratitude for it, especially as a Spaniard, since they were the only country in the Spanish Civil War to send weapons, tanks and planes to the antifascists. Forever will love the Soviet BT-5 tanks and the I-16 "moscas" in their labor of killing fascists in Spain!

Plenty of delicious struggle meals if you get creative, half of "popular" cuisine stems from them. Spanish cocido and tortilla de patata are a few examples of well-loved affordable struggle meals.

That's when it was under Chinese ownership, remember they had to sell the US Tiktok to a Yankee company

Is there no union or organization locally that you can ask? Protest isn't an individual action, it's a social organized action, so you ideally should get involved with local orgs or your work's union for this

Don't you have a student's union or representative? Get informed locally on your rights and possibilities.

I'm also in the EU, and I'd much rather get some posts calling for grassroots political action than the constant "elon said something Nazi again".

Organizations like the PSL do have lists of demands and are actively building a movement around this to gain momentum. You should check them out :)

How does this affect anything?

It's a momentum thing. one general strike won't change the world, it's the start of a much larger movement to get people to organize in socialist organizations like the PSL (remember socialism has always been fascism's greatest enemy) and in unions. A one-day general strike is not a "perfect is the enemy of good" logic, it's simply materially impossible to get everyone to rally in one week, or one month, or likely one year. It's just a start and a show of strength.

There are such thing as medical personnel strikes. Typically, public sectors organize so-called "minimum services", so they leave a minimum of people to stay in the hospitals / trains / buses for obvious reasons, and the rest go out to protest. A day with fewer nurses and doctors may be bad, but fascism is lethal too.
