The general dead grass principle

if it's all fake maybe we could all agree to take the day off at the same time. A General Take-the-day-off if you will.

conceptually i agree but i don't even joke about general strikes anymore, the false-hope waveform is bad for all organizers everywhere

i dealt with that about fifteen years ago. i was staying at my mother's place in rural virginia; one morning her landlord busted into the house, drunk off his ass with his battered wife in tow, and while getting in my face about my mother's rent expressed incredulity that a computer job was "real"

jesus i'm sorry to hear that, that's real fucked up

thank god i had the door to the bedroom locked on impulse because otherwise he would have literally just opened the door on me in there. he also shut the electricity off in retaliation for something my mother did or didn't do or whatever it was
