What is the Shutdown 315 Movement?

Man it's going to be great when all 50 of us get fired from our jobs.

Wake me up when normies are on board. I'm not fucking up my life for nothing.

The end

This post is going nowhere because it doesn't have realistic backing of anyone significant. So no, this post isn't going to change anything, even if I decide to sacrifice my job for some rando trying to start a movement.

Wake me up when it gets any significant traction

Look at the 50 protests in 50 states that just happened. A couple thousand people showed up out of hundreds of millions. And that's much less of a sacrifice than risking your livelihood.

Wow look they're all still in power and ripping shit apart.

Almost like they don't fucking care if people stand around wirh signs.

Maybe we should try another strongly worded letter.

Oh i know, lets do a big petition in bold font!

Psyops: Let's help the little people get it out of their systems... Let's get them to stand around with signs just like the good old days and put up a few posts on social media to organise it. They'll soon give up and learn to accept it.

I'm saying Americans are too lazy and domesticated to do what's necessary when peaceful protests inevitably fail
