My pain tolerance is insanely high. I can destroy my body if I decide to.
My pain threshold is insanely low. Insects so small most people can't see them burn so badly I'm covering myself in scars.
These are very different things

Depleted atp is adp. Tri phosphate to double
And if the Democratic party was any good, they would be listening to the will of the people and the desire for a general strike would flow up from the people. The decision to do it would still be top down, because someone has to figure out the logistics
There's no general strike coming and we're miles away from the slimmest possibility, but I'd like to hear leaders calling for one all the same
By calling for something so anti-billionaire, they would be signaling whose side they're on, giving them more legitimacy
ICE doesn't go after criminals at all, that's not what they do. Trump is just lying
You know who goes after criminals? The fucking police. Then when the police are done with someone, they ping ICE and ask if they want the person. ICE can request a 72 hold to pick them up, and then they go through the immigration courts or whatever
We make them serve any sentence here before ICE comes into play. It's considered a civil matter, everything criminal gets priority
That's not bottom up, that's just a different org structure. One that doesn't exist at this time
You have to get people on board and coordinate... That's the only requirement. Having Democrats call for this would get some people on board, moving a general strike from impossible to slightly less impossible
But more importantly, it would be taking a stand. The tiniest, most performant stand, but still a step up
How else do you do it? Everyone just magically has the same idea at the same time and stays home?
No, I think the violence is a symptom, and that political violence is happening and we have to stop pretending it's not. This is the state we're in, no amount of crackdowns or "turning down the temperature" is going to change things
If you look at the cause, it's obvious there's just going to be more and more violence. That's what happens when you make people desperate, and people are getting more and more desperate
Healthcare, housing, hope
That's dumb as fuck.
Your enemy's enemy is not necessarily your friend.
When your enemies are fighting, what do you do? You put fuel on the fire, obviously
They can't. These people have the guns... That group forced to fly in has command over enough armies to fight the rest of the world and possibly win
And they're not Trump fans
This same group quietly took Trump out of power after Jan 6
That you have to have a heart. You have to believe in things, and see right from wrong
We're losing that as a species. Laws aren't a replacement for morality, but they're treated like it
There's no set of laws that could save us from global warming or bring the local community together. But these are very necessary things
