I think with the internet, we could actually change this.
I think that if there was a unified community, a properly large one, one could use the economic power derived from the consumers to target specific things.
Wouldn’t need strikes. You’d just need an app to tell you what things not to buy for a week and what are the alternatives so you can still get your addiction on, whatever it may be (coffee, alcohol, dresses, chocolate, a specific type of heroin, who cares).
Like a global union, with the power that a full strike gives you, but without having to actually even strike.
interesting, but the problem remains: how do you create that unified community? Left-wing people seem especially prone to infighting, at least compared to the right wing where big business and alleged christians are happy to get in bed together.

Oh, that’s easy. I just claim I’m Jesus and gather the whole world behind me.
