What's great is it doesn't even require everybody (which is basically a non starter since some would disagree with the protest). I can't remember where so someone can correct me if I'm wrong, but even just a 10% general strike would have a noticeable impact.

You're here, posting these words. I'm here, reading them. And the other 98 out of 100 are doing something else, ignorant about what's going on either purposefully, as in an ostrich, or not. Capitalism will dangle shiny toys in one hand saying "you can have this for the right price" while emptying your wallet behind your back with the other. The idea that society will ever reject capitalism is as close to impossible as it gets. Besides, we're already too far down the road between capitalism and totalitarianism to turn around. Lethal and independent AI is the final turning point before hell really breaks loose.

I mean, it's totally worth a shot. But a day or 2 isn't going to do much. They know everyone will fall back in line after that. It'll be a bump in their finances, sure, but It'll be managable. These people are on track to literally enslave you. They're not going to back off, just because a bunch of people waited 2 days to buy their new phone or groceries.
