You're just lapsed or arguing with a deity. Now many see atheism as an -ism or a belief but it is an a-. The a- is for not. Humanism is an -ism but, atheism is a just nope to theism. 151

They don't want you to know that 50% to 96% top tax rates were normal for decades and the main engine of progress. Don't complain about the taxes, complain about wages being too low, union busting or lack of basic income. 001

Dylan Lineger @dylanlineger.bsky.social · 16/06/2025Economic turmoil is not justification to trample on Treaty rights and obligations in Canada (or anywhere). Tell our MLA/MNA/MPP/MP/Senators that we are all Treaty Peoples. Many seem to need a reminder. Reconciliation means no returning to colonialism by government or economy. #G7 #cdnpoli 011
Dylan Lineger @dylanlineger.bsky.social · 16/06/2025The cost to end hunger for the entire world is €50b (€42b in food production, €8b logistics) or $78.55b CAD. Global military spending was €2.8t for 2024, or $4.4t CAD. That means if just 1.8% of military spending were redirected, nobody would face starvation. Time for more #BreadNotBombs. 000
Dylan Lineger @dylanlineger.bsky.social · 15/06/2025The lack of domestic media coverage or glazed over coverage is very bad. Organizing is often a herding cats task. 99% of the cats are not into it and 1% are too into it. Boycotts of 🇺🇸 in 🇨🇦 didn't come from organizations or leaders though. We got threatened, people said "Okay, #ElbowsUp time." 110
Dylan Lineger @dylanlineger.bsky.social · 15/06/2025Absolutely, the precarious nature of work in US makes it hard to organize/strike in general. However, having raised strike funds, wallets don't open until the strike starts. It's an unfortunate paradox. Normalizing general strikes as the "We The People" tool is the goal. It's never going to be easy. 110
Dylan Lineger @dylanlineger.bsky.social · 15/06/2025Make return to work protocol expectations known. Like, no loss of seniority / retaliation for participation. Loop in allies, celebs and privileged to keep them from denouncing it. Have direct but peaceful escalation. Such as start as 1 day strike, then 3 day strike, 2 week strike, indefinite strike. 110
Dylan Lineger @dylanlineger.bsky.social · 15/06/2025Make assistance forms for strikers available. A 75% strike pay 25% hardship is a simple rule of thumb for assigning flow of cash donations / payments. Coordinate with big unions once strike is inevitable to add institutional level support. Provide inside strike plan (no OT, donate 1/4 pay to strike) 110
Dylan Lineger @dylanlineger.bsky.social · 15/06/2025Issue press releases, memes and other central comms to maintain and focus the message and strike. Issue call for solidarity, e.g. "Workers of the world unite!" Coordinate with local ambulance service, Red Cross & similar orgs for makeshift areas for treating injuries. Establish the food areas. 110
Dylan Lineger @dylanlineger.bsky.social · 15/06/2025Elect or appoint for each area/city a picket captain, treasurer and secretary to coordinate donations coming in and going out. Bring in volunteers to expand capacity. Share the strike manual (copy from any union or make your own) to educate participants. Add the General Strike local to network. 110
Dylan Lineger @dylanlineger.bsky.social · 15/06/2025How to general strike in 48h 🧵. Set the core mandate(s) for strike with 3 or less key demands to get everyone back to work. Set date for compliance or consequences. (E.g. Gov't resigns by ____ & new UN supervised paper ballot election.) Make core demand public before strike. If not met, strike. 1/ 110
Dylan Lineger @dylanlineger.bsky.social · 15/06/2025Imagine if all the #NoKings protesters didn't show up to work on Monday. That's how you start a general strike. Protests are good but taking the fuel from fascism is better. 120

Dylan Lineger @dylanlineger.bsky.social · 11/06/2025Whole thread on point and all the more reason for a general strike as a response. Provide no target and deny fuel for the regime at same time. A Friday the 13th, or Obama Day general strike would entertain the rest of the world. 000
Dylan Lineger @dylanlineger.bsky.social · 11/06/2025Service to the common cause isn't controversial, or shouldn't be.

Dylan Lineger @dylanlineger.bsky.social · 11/06/2025Every soldier should be a socialist. Learning the value of the unit and the mission are inherently socialist. Understanding sacrifice.

Dylan Lineger @dylanlineger.bsky.social · 11/06/2025We can have markets & property in a socialist system. It is just shifting focus to the value of a thing to society rather than as capital for private interest.
