Over the last week, the guide has surged to become the 5th-most-accessed book on Project Gutenberg, an open source repository of free and public domain ebooks. It is also the fifth most popular ebook on the site over the last 30 days, having been accessed nearly 60,000 times over the last month (just behind Romeo and Juliet).

Ah, I see where the miscommunication happened. Only my first response was a defence of them, and only as far as the comment you were responding to. Their opinions are theirs and mine are mine.
I don’t think a general strike is a remotely plausible possibility, it simply requires more labour organisation and willingness endure hardship than what currently exists. Me going into hypotheticals and theoreticals is based on this. You’re right that If it were somehow we’re to happen, the suffering would be immense and I don’t know of any remotely realistic goal that it could achieve that would justify it. There’s a lot wrong with society but I don’t see how bringinging it all to a stop would do much to help.
The main point I initially tried to make(but got very sidetracked from) is that just because someone is advocating for a course of action that causes harm in persuit of a goal, it doesn’t mean they are ignorant or uncaring of the harm. But rather that they believe that the end justifies the means.
Sorry for the confusion.
That’s fine. It happens.
