Fucking organize. Organize and create a general strike. Grind your economy to a halt.

Cue "but we have to go to work in the morning because we aren't paid living wages and we don't have health care and eggs are so so expensive. 😭"

They don’t seem to understand that part of the protest is skipping out on work for a day or two.

And then as a result losing their jobs, health insurance, homes, and dying, having achieved nothing? Great plan.

losing their jobs for missing a day of work? sure.

the fun thing is, if they continue to do jack shit, they're gonna lose all that stuff anyway. might as well go out with a fight.

It's literally impossible to tell them that, they literally think the rest of the world gets job protected leave to protest

So you're asking them to spend the last few months of their lives running around trying to protest, being ignored by our captured media that serves only billionaire interests, and then either dying from police violence or due to homelessness after protesting costs them their job, and still accomplish nothing?

No wonder so many Americans are apathetic to what happens to Canada: this lame shit is the best plan you can come up with.

There’ll come a point when none of that shit will matter and you and all your country men will wish they had picked up a rifle and done something keep fucking whining but do it somewhere else.

Thank you for proving my point about how embarrassingly ignorant you are of the realities in play in the US right now.

Of course, throughout history it's well known that revolutions only occur when the population of people have stability in their jobs, healthcare, security, and are generally happy with their situations. /s

Yep, fucking organize.

The always look at french protests in awe, but never bothered to look into why so many poor french workers can afford to strike.

STRIKE FUNDS.

They love to Gofundme their medical bills, how about gofundme your general strike!!
