Anyone else extremely disheartened by the hostility of people “planning” the next tiktok “strike”?

I think we can all agree in this sub that we would like to do something about the economic climate, but it’s really tiring to keep seeing these “strike” dates pop up and then you ask them about the details and the plans and you get attacked with virtue signaling. I asked about plans for people who are medication dependent because I am on a medication that keeps me from going blind and I was met with “you think I don’t know not everyone can participate?” I’ve seen marginalized and disabled people getting bullied for asking valid questions that anyone who knows anything about organizing would probably be excited to answer.

It really sucks.

They just start announcing dates without a plan. Like they skip the first ten steps to get to the glory part cause they are thinking of it like a movie or something.
