    Sorry how would that help us? GOP already destroying industry and dismantling government services, I’m not going to help the GOP.

      Haven’t you noticed that many “industries” are actively working to dismantle government? This isn’t like dynamiting a pond to obtain a fish for dinner. You select your targets. You shift your buying to non-corporate entities., like a National Black Farmer near you. You use a bike instead of a car, when you can. You prepare your own food instead of going to McDonalds. You slow down at work. You develop a like-minded community and help your neighbors. You grow a garden. Maybe you start your own business.

        Yes, businesses and government ideally are naturally opposed, which is why a general strike in context of a US political protest does fuck all.

        You won’t just hurt all the bad people, you will hurt the good people as well. Some people will die when certain supply chains get disrupted but I guess thats a sacrifice you’re willing to make.
