  • Getting average people to the point that they are ready to do something like a general strike is a process.

    Most people don’t even want to have to go to a protest.

    But going to a protests is like anteing up in poker – it is mentally anchoring people as in the game and publicly taking a side.

    And yeah - the fucks in power are going to say “bet”.

    So now millions of people who are not where we already are, who have not wrestles with this and avoided it as long as they can - they are starting to ask, “ok, what do we actually have to risk to change this? What am I willing to do?”

    Will we get enough people actually engaged enough for a general strike? I have no idea.

    But I know it won’t happen without giving people a ramp-up that includes things like the protest this weekend.

    Ok. Before you get mad. Do you think you are a normal representative of your age group?

    If you walk into a room of people you don’t know but who are all likely born within +/-5yrs of you, would you expect to be able to talk about crypto with any sophistication and at least half would be able to follow?

    If not, then the generalization is true even if it doesn’t apply to you specifically.
