is it well known and do people talk about it … like in the mainstream media ?

    I’ve already seen someone on Lemmy say that they should feed their kids out of dumpsters if they lose their job that they rely on to live paycheck-to-paycheck (like almost half of Americans) and then their home because they can’t pay rent.

    And if they lose their kids to CPS because they were made homeless and their parents were arrested during a general strike protest? Hey, they were clearly just MAGA bootlickers anyway.

      I’m dubious of the reality of said comment, or the support it got in upvotes.

      Most of us understand that protesting carries risks, and encourage others to risk what they feel okay with.

        Yeah, I clearly have a good reason to lie about that, which is stuff. Either that or things. Or maybe because shut up.

        Do explain how me talking about the fact that people (like you) have no compassion or understanding for others when it comes to this event is not on-topic enough for you.

        I understand that you think that people should sacrifice their jobs and their homes and their kids so that they can protest on a specific day, but I’m guessing that’s not going to get them to do it. Nor is being rude about it.

          You are overdramatic. You make mountains out of molehills, and somehow EVERY news story somehow affects you personally. So fragile.

            This literally does not apply to me, so how does it affect me personally?

            Are you operating under the strange and somewhat disturbing belief that you can only have compassion for people if they are going through the same things you are?
