One of the key things is that if 3-5% working adults start protesting and a general strike, you don’t need violence. Because that would cause most countries to stop functioning.
It doesn’t sound like a lot, but it will impact enough different jobs that at least one link in almost every supply and service chain will break. It wont immedately stop, but give it some time and “everything” will be impacted.
Excellent point. This threshold for action is also affected by the related societal events.
Willfully fracturing the global market, dismantling the largest employer in the country, and violently exiling the ever-exploited backbone of the economy will force those potential disruptions and dysfunctions to the surface much faster than it would have otherwise.

We had around half of the 3.5% (6 million+) at the Hands Off protest. If it had more coverage, it probably could have been 75% of that.
