I'm not sure it is, has been tried before with not superb results, think there was one in the UK in support of miners rights and the whole thing went off a cliff and the miners forgotten
Here is the Wikipedia entry

This is what might end capitalism as we know it, good luck to them.

@grrlscientist Other countries - showing leadership abilities well past that of the enfeebled former usa's, when "leadership" has failed it's authoritarian power grabs

@julesbl @grrlscientist
Sure, many strikes were brutally put down.

But overall, the union movement and strikes created the middle class of last century.

300 million workers just shut down India

The largest strike in human history, and most of the Western media barely whispered it

That silence is complicity in Modi's war on workers' rights

India's general strike is the future that the billionaires and ruling class fears most

@grrlscientist the sad fact is that even Indians aren’t talking about it

Hey, no piling on on Americans, it's unfair! Collective punishment is strictly prohibited in the Human rights charter.

@grrlscientist

the US doesn't have 300m workers, it's a much smaller country, + it feels a tad insensitive to complain abt US barely 10 minutes after Minneapolis filling the streets got people shot dead in public & left to bleed out on camera

in the US (& much of the Americas except Canada) the KKK / Nazis have been killing people who protest for decades

forgive me if that feels like bigger news than a planned 1-day off work where everyone goes home alive, that just sounds like Mardi Gras

@grrlscientist US will not and when (like i did) you tell them to, they react like entitled child and act like moron.

They still think, doing nothing and wait the vote will work.

bunch of naive people.
I will never trust those child ever again.

@Madagascar_Sky @grrlscientist ah yeah the same human rights charter US ignore right now for legal immigrant in their system?

Us citizen are entitled lazy moron.

indeed, Duck Duck Go news had barely any search results, mostly indian web sites such as: https://www.indiatvnews.com/news/india/bharat-bandh-on-february-12-trade-unions-expect-about-30-crore-workers-to-join-nationwide-strike-2026-02-10-1029683

I love you, I'm proud of you.

@grrlscientist though I agree with the sentiment, I think touting racism as our largest prejudice issue is short sighted, and divisive.
Racism is absolutely never okay from ANY race or government!
And programming you to see any particular race as suffering more than other diverse people or group in America is also not okay!
Especially when you feed into the division just like the government wants you to, just like the media wants you to.
Pick at eachother, blame white people! Status quo: Agenda.

@grrlscientist The most powerful lie is the one that tells you to be proud of thinking there’s nothing you can do.
