So we're just skipping the part about the execs treating themselves to a concert after many years of union busting, horrid working conditions, innumerable other abuses, and excluding the workers. But we're going to shit on the people they hired for a gig.

No... we actually talk about Amazon's shitfuckery a lot. Where have you been?

I'm talking about the point of the article and you know it. Which is why I have you noted as "Bad Faith"

and you know it.

This is where you are wrong. You aren't commenting on the article.. You aren't even commenting on the post about the article. Your responding to a comment left on the post about the article.

It's you that's arguing in bad faith here, or at least not recognising the context of what you're saying, presumably because you're too busy trying to get across your own point.

I don't think your initial point about the criticism that should be levelled at Amazon is wrong (I think you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone on here that supports what Amazon have done), but that isn't to say that the Foo Fighters shouldn't be being criticised here.

Both things can be true.

But by responding to a comment that points out the band's faults with whatabouttery you're kind of coming across like you're defending the band whilst also ignoring all the other people saying the same thing you are. Then on top of that having a go at the OP when he points out other people are talking about the Amazon issue by saying you're clearly taking about the article.... If you're commenting on the article why are you replying to some other post?!
