RE: https://mastodon.social/@tusk81/116890759549570184 When people get in a certain frame of mind, one thing can lead to another, and before long, all hell breaks loose. What we need here is a civil response to incivility by the powers that be. A general strike would do it. Problem there is, a general strike would require discipline and hard work to make it happen. But, if we can't come up with discipline and hard work, then what is the point of any of it? If the answer appears to answer violence with violence, then it would best to refactor something somewhere, as I see it. Anyway, there is the positive proposal: a general strike until we achieve some basic standards of civil behavior, especially from the forces of the government. They do come for all of us. We should work together. A general strike would demonstrate our discipline to the society at large, which is where democratic political power resides.
