i recently heard someone talking about how in the US we just don't have the culture of solidarity with each other to be able to pull off a general strike and we simply need more of that solidarity attitude and we'll be able to do it
but i cant stop thinking how this position completely ignores how we have countless systems, structures, and narratives ingrained in our culture specifically designed to keep us all apart and to prevent this solidarity mindset
