politics

lol fucker, we already knew.

Mask off season.

I tried to save yall by voting for Kamala

We won't survive this.

But if we did, it would be my greatest wish that everyone understands this was all brought to you by tolerance of Greed and capitalism.

Greedy people are a blight on humanity and mentally ill in a serial killer, society must be protected from them way.

But unfortunately, since most here still see themselves as temporarily embarrassed millionaires that don't want to be part of society but live above it, they'll blame everything but. In that respect, maybe my first point is a silver lining.

I'm not saying you shouldn't vote with your wallet, but it is basically in vain. Amazon is all but a tax subsidy at this point.

Wait, rainbow capitalism wasn't sincere?
I left the Amazon ecosystem a couple of years ago because fuck Bezos and it wasn't a big deal, really. Accumulating stuff is a mindset I could reason myself out of. I call it the power of No, thank you. I buy mostly second hand now and it's so calming. Saves me money as well.

Oh yeah, by all means, stop using all Amazon related services, then realize that about 50% of web services for banking, agriculture, logistics, infrastructure, telecommunications, research and development, industry, transportation, healthcare and energy are hosted on AWS

"Oh but my service is hosted on GCP"

Yeah and what do you think is the fallback in case of DRP?

Don't worry guys, all these corporations will bring back those pretty rainbow logos for Pride Month™ and all will be forgotten.

Prime? Cancelled.
Kindle unlimited? Cancelled.
Audible? Cancelled.
Twitch? Cancelled.

Not one cent from my wallet will ever be in Bezos’ hands again, from here on out.

"Democracy dies in darkness" said the guy turning off the fucking lights

Okie-dokie.

I guess I can delete "slow down if I see Jeff Bezos crossing the street" from my policies.

Sounds like another great reason for Amazon workers to organize a labor union.

The masks are coming off.

I'm proud to say that I've never once bought anything from Amazon. Long before Bezos started to reveal the depths of his psychopathy, the company just grossed me out. There's something about businesses that are that large and that dominant that just makes my flesh crawl (the same reason I never shop at Walmart or eat at McDonald's or get coffee at Starbucks or...)

But at this point, it goes way beyond that - Bezos, alongside Musk and Zuckerberg and Ramaswamy and Thiel and so on - is a direct threat to humanity. He and the other would-be oligarchs, under the umbrella of Trump's ego, are deliberately setting out to destroy the ideals of liberty, democracy and justice in order to build an autocracy in which they will be the masters they believe themselves rightfully to be, and the rest of us will be relegated to being serfs, slaves or corpses.

Way ahead of ya pal. I haven't used Amazon in over 5 years

@[email protected] You can’t use WalMart either. And didn’t Target remove things after literal in-store attacks by chuds?

What’s your game plan? It can’t be the mall…

And if avoiding using Amazon products is your goal, then large swaths of the internet are off the table too.

I’m not trying to be a jerk. Just illustrating how the oligarchs got us over a barrel when it comes to voting with our patronage.

What a sack of shit

we advocate for policies designed to remove barriers to equity

Holy shit that’s the most corpo speak “we don’t believe in affirmative action” policy I’ve ever heard

Fun fact, almost any complaint, even one extremely minor, will often make Amazon's customer support chat assistants give you a full refund. They'll even let you not worry about shipping the item back if you say you don't want to because it's not your problem.

This surely doesn't lose Amazon money at all, and definitely isn't something that works with almost any item you buy on Amazon, of nearly any value or quality. Definitely don't do this just because you want Amazon to lose money.

I usually attempt to buy from other sources, but they are fully ingrained in the online market to the point that other vendors usually drop ship from them, sometimes even if there's no price difference because they get commercial discounts that consumers don't.

Well I guess it's a good thing I have begun my 4 years of austerity. I am not spending one dime more than I need to for necessities. I cancelled Amazon Prime a year ago and will be making every effort to buy whatever necessities I usually would get from there elsewhere.

I wonder what makes the author of the article think that Bezos did this. The CEO of Amazon has been Andy Jassy since 2021.

These idiots have made a mistake, the pendulum always swings back and most Americans didn't vote for Trump.

I hope they don't expect to be welcomed back with open arms once it does.

In case anyone needs some toilet break literature:

It's always worth cutting ties with Amazon.

Just about everything is available from somewhere else, and probably cheaper with their enormous fees they charge the sellers.

If it isn't available elsewhere, it's probably an Aliexpress fire hazard anyway.

Taking the first steps to leave Amazon entirely right now. I am never ordering anything from them again.

Remember when Bezos pretended to be in opposition to Trump? That was nice while it lasted.
