It was impressive we managed to get so many of our lazy as fuck countrymen to stand up and do something.
It was still a fraction of a fraction of the size it needed to be. Didn't accomplish anything at all and basically was a massive waste of time in the pursuit of change.
If we could pull something off of that scale every week, and grow it. Then it would mean something. Till then it's little more then hot air.
And if we want a general strike to work it would need to be sizeable, far larger then what no kings was.
Doesn't mean we shouldn't try, or keep working towards it. But we need to focus on the working towards it part more and not try to skip steps.
