General strikes weren't particularly common in the 60's in the US and those protests were considered widespread and effective.




The No Kings “general strikes” consist almost entirely of retired people. I’m sure I saw anyone under 60 in those protests.

I'm not sure if you're mixing things, or if I missed anything, but the "No Kings" things were protests, not a "strike" and very far from being a "general strike". Those practices are very different from just "protesting".

This is strictly false. Plenty of working age people went, and many brought their children.
