    If the back end programmers weren’t getting paid as much a they did, do you think they’d stage a mass shutdown? If farmers, construction workers and anyone who gave a fuck about ending data centers really gave a fuck, wouldn’t they just get all the construction equipment and start knocking them down? The means of production can be halted with good ol’ non-conformity and destruction.

      I think most people are just focused on the short term goal of keeping a roof over their heads and food on their table to care. This is, of course, by design.

        A strike is chanting and begging for more from pig-dogs who don’t give a fuck about you or I. Halting the meaning of production and disruption, is another ballpark, it has an actual consequence to society. Being the people who have the power to shut areas of society down and whining about life being unfair is pathetic.

        It’s because people don’t know how to do it from the inside. They only know how to scream and chant they don’t know how to organize on a level that would disrupt anything.
