      If there’s one thing America has shown us all, it’s that the entire country is built on little more than propaganda and virtue signals.

      Millions in the military swear an oath to defend the constitution yet obey illegal orders and commit war crimes without question. Whistle blowers are a rare statistical anomaly, despite committing thousands of domestic and international crimes against humanity stretching back centuries.

      Americans believe they live in a democracy while living under what is functionally equivalent to corporate dictatorship, ruled by the most criminally corrupt sociopaths, psychopaths, and pedophiles of all developed economies; having far fewer freedoms, lower quality of life, and less economic mobility… with police who repeatedly operate like a domestic terrorist paramilitary force (on behalf of private enterprise) for the countries entire existence.

        I don’t think one can phrase it better than this. Propaganda, gaslighting, manipulation, and yelling so loud about how holy we all are that any criticism is drowned out. A nation in psychosis.

        I hope this strike happens. Just from seeing FIFA catering to Trump, alone, I want their event to fail. I know the strike won’t entirely do that, but it could help.

    I really, really, really hope people strike during WC time in multiple cities.

    Workers could cost management billions, easily, if they do this.

    I hope they do. I also hope this is the last we hear about it till the DAY OF and suddenly the workers are striking outside instead of working.
