- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).

Then there should be a stronger focus on getting people to organize and unionize in their workplace. Cause a general strike won't work without a strong organized work force and this kind of action focuses much more on individual action that makes you feel like you're doing something when you're really not. I'd rather direct the energy that people have right now towards things that will actually have an impact like providing resources and pushing people to unionize to build the base needed for a general strike.
I think the bad guys are actually making it easier to have an effective strike. The bad guys are cutting employment to the bone and beyond- so it's way worse for them if even a small percentage of their workforce doesn't show up, and stuff doesn't get done
It still has to be organized though with a union, you need things like strike funds and the small amount of legal protections that come with having a union such as preventing them from just firing the workers who don't show up. It has to be a large amount of people that are organized, otherwise the companies can just fire them and find replacements and the strike will be over.
