I just found out about it today from twitter and tiktok and so far it seems incredibly unorganized. From my brief understanding I guess it’s supposed to be a nationwide strike against paying rent and bills. Some believe this strike is a psyop as one of the organizers is using odd and even coded language that may suggest they’re a conservative/right-wing in general. It also feels like it came out of nowhere, to me for a strike like this to work there must be months and months of planning and setting up mutual aid because without that the strikers will suffer immensely especially those with disabilities.

Anyway I just wanted to know your thoughts and if you’ve even heard about all this.

Edit: here is the website for the strike!

Basically every year there's a nebulous, decentralized call for a general strike, and everyone who posts about it is just hoping that they can manifest it into being and everyone will go on strike. There's no preparation, no planning, no demands, no nothing. Just screaming "I declare... general strike" into the void like Michael Scott declaring bankruptcy.
