    Try something it’s better than the nothing you are doing now. All talk no action the 'murican way.

    My fellow Canadians have stopped buying American goods and services and travelling to your country. It’s already affected your economy but you could give a fuck right. We’re buying guns and training. Joining mutual aid orgs. Fuck…we even had record numbers vote yesterday in advanced polls for our federal election.

    General strike would shut your economy down pretty quick in turn stifling your regime but you wouldn’t get a paycheque and you don’t know your neighbors so they won’t help you. I guess that’s out too. I think I’m out of suggestions really. You’ve denied every single one is possible or even worthy of discussion.

    I don’t know I guess you’re fucked. Enjoy the couch. See you in another thread later.

      I’m not from the US.

      I’m arguing that what you should learn from failed movements is to not copy what doesn’t work. That you should learn from other movements with more success, invent new strategies, use old reliable strategies, and push much harder and farther than those who failed.

      Following the Hong Kongers’ example is to give up.
