    Imagine seeing the “largest strike in human history” in the world’s most populous country and your immediate reaction is to think about people in the USA and USA reporting and how the USA could do that too. Come on, you’re better than this. Probably.

    To avoid being just another comment pretending to be useful while actually just talking about the USA, here’s the CPofIndia on the demands of the strike:

        I’d love if we had a general strike in Brazil against the pretty similar trade deals we’re getting here, and even though Brazilians are the second most obnoxious nationality online (I get to say it) I don’t see how bringing that up would contribute to the conversation. No hate to the USA lefties, I think their strikes against ICE were pretty nice actually, but it doesn’t have to always be about them.

      Nonono, don’t you see? USA #1, USA exceptional. Therefore the US could do a bigger and better strike if they wanted too. Don’t you understand? My smug sense of western chauvinism is at stake here!
