Mo Ⓐ☭🇵🇸 (moblack@mastodon.online)'s status on Friday, 10-May-2024 04:46:38 JST Mo Ⓐ☭🇵🇸 @FlashMobOfOne a protest and a labor action can be similar only in the sense that both aim to shut down the normal operation of an institution to force it to concede to certain demands. They don't have to be similar beyond that

Mo Ⓐ☭🇵🇸 (moblack@mastodon.online)'s status on Thursday, 09-May-2024 23:30:50 JST Mo Ⓐ☭🇵🇸 There is an assumption that the point of a protest is to "raise awareness" and "bring people over to your side". Some protests are like that, but certainly not all and maybe not even most.
Sometimes you do a march or a walkout to raise awareness for an issue or just to let people know that your movement exists.
But a labor strike is not there to "raise awareness". The primary purpose of a strike is to harm the company so that they give into a list of demands
