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!

    See that’s the thing, I’ve only seen it on tiktok and once on twitter (but I’ve been avoiding it more and more) so I can link some tiktok videos of it if you’d like.

    Edit: also I am well aware of rent strikes and I’m fully supportive, it’s just this strike for September 1st is very unorganized and seems to have come out of nowhere. It looks like a general strike as in no rent, no bills, no shopping, no work, no school, etc.

      Oh wtf xDD I’ll gladly accept any tiktok link u can offer, seems entertaining. What kind of ideology is that; no school, no shopping?Anarcho-Capitalism? Literally never heard of anything like it. Especially if it’s gaining in traction i’d like to know abt it at least o.O

        Striking isn’t a political slant all on its own, outside of a “leftward” slant because it’s siding with workers. Though “the left” includes a HELL of a lot of not very left ideologies right now because the Overton Window is dangerously far right right now.
