Oh yeah, he 100% should be disqualified for insurrection. However, a felony is not treason.

My point is that I said i felt isolated by blue collar workers not considering tech workers as the same class.

Labor isn't a class difference.

desk workers suffer numerous health issues due to sitting all day/lack of movement.

Blue collar workers get significantly decreased life spans compared to white collar, because we breath in fumes and strain our bodies. That's not the point you want to stand on for them being the same.

A strike is a specific thing. That you do as part of a unit.

does not mean we are not protesting.

But that doesn't make it a strike either.

Not everything that hurts the company is a strike.

A strike is a group based action in which you refuse to do your job while demanding to get some level concessions before you'll go back to work. Quiet quiting fails the organization aspect, and the demand aspect.

We just consider organizing as just quietly aligning our wallets and behaviours without being overt about it

That's not the same type of organizing that needs to take place for something to be considered a strike.

I am sure there are a lot of organization for software developers for people who do want to be loud about it too.

When they are, then it may be considered a strike.

Because when they did that, it was actively less than the bare minimum. If you do the bare minimum, you're still doing your job. Hence, not a strike.

You also aren't organized, which is another good reason to not call it a strike. A strike isn't a few workers doing how they feel like.

In America, when you strike you put up a picket line. You tell the company, this is what we want, and will do nothing for you until you meet our demands. And you do it together.

As long as you are getting paid, you can hardly call it a strike

Then you haven't read anything about cartels.

. I am just not considered part of the labour class by blue collar workers.

Unions can and still lead you to resources and help you unionize. You can't blame blue collar workers.

Hahahahaha. You think that's what a strike is? A strike isn't just a slight battle against the company. It's an all out war. So to speak. It's insulting to those actually in unions who walk the picket lines to suggest refusing rto is a strike.

Please actually organize.

Full on tipsy, not slightly

A sane, rational adult would understand any system that relies on them being sane and rational is a poorly made system
