To explain how utterly insane this is: the email requires a response by Monday. Elon Musk sent out these emails on Saturday Night.
FBI primarily works on Top Secret missions, meaning they do NOT often read unclassified emails. Department of Energy is largely Top Secret (ie: Nuclear Weapons) projects.
In these Top Secret jobs, it is illegal to say what you've done in an unclassified setting. So it isn't very clear how you're even supposed to write an email on what you've done, as writing such an email is literally illegal.
Also, David basically brought a gun to a knife fight against Goliath. Seems like Goliath should have been considered the underdog :3
Its been suggested that the combat could have been a ritualistic slaughter. Much like the Gladiator Ring was ritualized slaughter, to appease the masses.
IE: David vs Goliath, if it were to ever have happened in true history, would have always been written down like the story. The concept of "true history" wasn't invented until centuries after that particular story. The purpose of writing in the Bronze Age was to build shared culture and shared stories.
They literally fucked up their own electricity and caused a widespread self inflicted famine. None of their rich stopped this process.
Under Venezuela it was a bunch of authoritarian socialists. Actually, it's closer to socialism under Trump now that he's talking sovereign wealth funds and buyouts of his closest billionaire buddies.
We need to first build a group through action. Starting with a much easier protest, such as a large scale boycott and a pledge to support the boycott, is likely the first step towards actual organization.
We also should consider local forms of resisting, such as teachers deleting records of social security numbers (as ICE is now seeking to deport even on school grounds).
There is a lot to teach others and to organize over. But a fucking strike? The fuck? You reserve strikes for the most important and climactic events.
There will one day be a need to call for a strike. So I'm not against organization of that. But we are very, very premature to be talking about that.
If I strike, it doesn't hurt the megarich. A strike hurts my boss.
Doubly so because I'm in a small company and therefore my boss is literally the end of the chain.
Secondly, the middle class voted for Trump. Unless you convince them that Trump is a threat this call for a strike will only cause them to gobble up your job and make you homeless.
The website says only 10 million people, or thereabouts, are needed to make this strike successful. Guess what? We only needed 10 million more votes to stop Trump.
Organization is the first step but a general strike is stupid.
No one is stopping their jobs or risking their livelihoods over this. The election shows that there is not enough people who believe in the threat of Donald Trump. The next step forward is convincing people of the threat.
Strikes and the like are only useful if you have enough supporters. Otherwise the scabs will eat you alive.
We need to practice our arguments and make it clear that Trump's Tariffs are to blame for the economic hardship we are all about to face.
We also need to prepare arguments that show how Trump's handlers benefit from this. Elon Musk is going to get richer from something here and we need to connect it.
Stellantis is ex, one of Teslas biggest EV rivals but now is going to be hurt by these tariffs more than Tesla.
Over Clinton's email server. Or something.
I dunno, I can't fucking follow this shit or their thought process anymore.
