Alright you redeemers, rebels and radicals out there,
Take Two.
Ten years after Occupy Wall Street one thing has become painfully clear: the people in charge of our global system have run it aground.
Ecosystems are crashing, financial markets teetering, climate wars breaking out. Suddenly humanity is in a Code-Red Emergency and our world leaders haven’t got a clue about how to get us out of it.
It’s time for another global uprising — OWS 2.0.
But this one will be a little different. Instead of marching in the streets and commandeering parks, we’re calling for a Worldwide General Strike — A Day of Rage Against World Leaders.
On September 17th, everything simply … stops.
I kind of need more than a poster to feel incentivized to join a strike that is supposed to involve a billion people.
Why? If you agree with the idea all you need to do is stay at home on that day and not do anything basically.
Im not the one that should defend this. Why do you believe that a billion people will join the strike?
That is just their marketing slogan. The important point is: do you or do you not think it is a worthy cause to support (no need to answer that)?
