People here will literally tell you “I don’t want to hear about it” but then complain about the gas prices. It feels like a total Don’t Look Up moment.

Woulda, coulda, shoulda. None of this will work to move the nation. Maybe it worked in Chile, but Chile isn’t made up of 50 different countries like the US is.
The only thing that will affect meaningful change on a national scale is a massive cultural change. I think that reinstating the draft could do it, but we’ll see.
I do think that it’s important to do what you can at the local level though. The people still have a measure of power there.
All of what I suggested are local level tactics, the only thing that is of a national scale would be the unions organizing together, but all of those unions are made up of many thousands of small unionized shops at the local level, and even if that last stage of general strike doesn’t occur, all of those local tactics are still extremely beneficial.
The tactics that worked for Chile can also work at a town, city or state level, and if one does it, it can inspire more to follow.
