    Long lasting general strikes and boycots would be an effective tool. I realize they would be painful, or even impossible, for people to support themselves through in many cases, whuch is why things like mutual aid and strike funds need to be set up first.

      If the film/tv industry did this alone everything would collapse pretty fast. Cut off everyone’s entertainment and they’ll get pissed real fast.

        They’re using ‘Bread and circuses’ to pacify, so remove the circuses and watch the anger boil up.

          They’re doing a job of removing the bread already - huge benefit cuts from the most vulnerable among us

        You mean like when there was a writer’s strike and basically nothing happened and basically nothing changed?
