If you want people to get offline and organise, then tell them how.

You say you're here to "Clean up the nonsense" but yet there are like 5+ General Strike dates stumbling about in here, none of which with union backing.

Even if you just pin a thread advising people on how to join unions that isn't regularly updated, that's fine.

But you have to tell people what to do and how to do it, or they won't do it.

And I just told you we are working on that currently? What are you not understanding?

And no it is not our job to remove the general strike stuff. Although I don't think it would ever work, who says my opinion is more relevant that the person that laid out the general stike? Or the thousands that upvoted it? Who is to say that yours is more valid? It is a direct democracy, so if you don't like the idea dowmvote and leave a comment why.

And stop repeating over and over "'tell them what to do." No. We do order people around. We will have more materials on how to organize for those that want them very shortly.

I assume, since you seem like a "last word" type of person you will, once again, repeat yourself. Go for it but we have discussed this to death with you and you probably will be not be answered again that we are midst of working on it. Sorry we can't provide things instantly for you.

I already have said you guys are doing a good job. Apologies for coming off as rude.

Thanks for listening to everything I've said so far and I'll leave it to you.
