Why I Strike
Tons of these at

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA ON COLLEGE EDUCATION
Student: I’m not going to go to college because I don’t want to go into debt.
USA: YOU’RE USELESS. YOU’RE GOING TO AMOUNT TO NOTHING YOU SCUMBAG. YOU’RE THE REASON WHY MY TAXES ARE SO HIGH.
Student: I attended a four year university and received a diploma in a field I am interested in. Now I am $50,000+ in debt.
USA: YOU DUMBASS. WHY DID YOU GO TO COLLEGE WHEN YOU KNOW YOU COULDN’T AFFORD IT? YOU DIDN’T EVEN CHOOSE A USEFUL MAJOR EITHER. GOD PEOPLE LIKE YOU MAKE ME SICK.
THIS IS WHY I STRIKE.
I STRIKE BECAUSE THE ONLY
WAY TO STOP BEING
TREATED LIKE A COMMODITY
IS TO STOP
ACTING LIKE ONE
WHY I STRIKE
I strike because work and money oppress us. I strike because it is the physical manifestation of workers’ solidarity. I strike to defend myself against the state. I strike because I believe in equality.
