People here will not general strike until they literally cannot feed themselves. And even then, it's a toss up.
The problem with that is you're going to get nothing but resentment and very little sympathy from most people. The actions of your government is causing chaos in the world, and for all intents and purposes you're doing nothing about it.
I'm just stating the reality, not defending it.
Something like 40% of people in this country support what's happening. They might tell a survey that they're not happy about invading Iran, but it will never stop them from financially supporting, and voting for, the fascists that are doing the things.
People here are rotten to the core.
Unfortunately I agree, very tunnel visioned.
