It’s partly because “people mentioning a general stroke” is always just “a bunch of people mentioning a general strike” online without the support of a single actual union.

I think people will get behind this one, this one has firepower behind it. Still needs to grow but damn, we’re cooking with gas

Setting it so far in advance could also make people antsy to strike immediately, so there could be some predecessor organizing in the meantime

I get very skeptical of calls for a general strike that don’t have any contacts in or support from a single union. A wildcat strike is already a long shot gamble. A wildcat general strike needs real specific conditions that we aren’t even close to.
