Amazon

I was neither advocate nor foe of Amazon, but they converted me to foe through censorship and new CEO's douchebaggery. I was neither advocate nor foe of Amazon, but they converted me to foe through censorship and new CEO's douchebaggery. I was OK with better selection at lower prices, but their fees/costs of shipping killed some of that. Then their censorship, partisan sponsorships/politics worked against them (for me). ℹ️ Info           ~ Aristotle Sabouni Created: 2018-04-03

Here's a few of the sub-articles on Amazon that combine to create a rich and nuanced view of an aggressive company that is helping revolutionize distribution, enabling virtual suppliers, and ruining some bigger and slower brick-and-mortar stores for not keeping up with technological break-neck advancements.

Alexa's Listening
Who doesn't want an always on, listening device in their home? 1984 (Orwell) creeped us out by the idea of TV's that listened and Governments that monitored for political correctness -- Amazon marketed it. Do you trust Amazon to protect your privacy? If so, you deserve what you get.

Amazon Book Burning
The gay mafia created and signed a petition on change.org asking Amazon to stop selling books because of their content, and Amazon did the Feirenheit 451thing and pulled them. "Conversion Therapy" is the new leftist hate speech... and virtually anything that doesn't fit the narrative falls into that.

Amazon Employee Outrage
Amazon employees outraged that the company’s facial recognition contracts with the U.S. government and police, could lead to more of the “immoral U.S. policy” around arresting felons, illegal aliens, and catching/killing terrorists or other threats to the U.S. Anti-American marxists and adult children that work in Seattle hated that, preferring lawlessness.

Amazon HQ2 pullout
Amazon wanted to put a HQ in Queens, NY and trade $27B in new tax revenues for $3B in tax breaks (at the cities suggestion). But the NYC snowflakes (like AOC) threw enough of a stink that Amazon decided to go somewhere else: Social Justice Victory: now New York loses these jobs / tax revenue to somewhere else. Woot!

Amazon Key
Amazon decided if you were giving them access to your shopping, and a wiretap in your homes (Alexa), why not give them a key to your home and circumvent the 4th Amendment? The delivery guy just unlocks your door, fights off your dog, throws the package in, and locks the door behind them - what's more convenient that home-invasion delivery?

Amazon and Antifa
Bezos doesn't mind selling Antifa/left-wing hate on Amazon. But they blocked the confederate flag as too controversial becuase idiot leftists don't know what it means. Domestic terrorist antifa? They're OK. Which means Amazon isn't taking a position against hate speech, just against anything that the snowflake left doesn't like.

Amazon, Confederacy and Antifa
Bezos doesn't seem to mind selling hate on Amazon. Well, left wing hate. They blocked history and the confederate flag as "too controversial" (a historical event that happened) -- but antifa stuff was sold well after they proved themselves to be a domestic terrorist organization.

Bookstore killer!
Amazon gets blamed for booksellers going out of business. Well run (adaptable) companies would not have gone out of business. Proof is that many smaller bookstores have thrived in spite of Amazon. While some big box bookstores were poorly positioned for the changing landscape, that's not Amazon's fault, and if it hadn't of been Amazon, someone else would have.

Digital Kristallnacht
Under the urging of Biden administration and supporters, Social Media enacted Digital Kristallnacht: ripping through 7,000 Conservative individuals, digital businesses and communities on Social Media, breaking windows, banning, and blocking, in order to harass and ban them, all in the name of faux healing and unity.

Ricky Gervais
It might be his leftist bonafides, but Ricky Gervais has told the self-important Hollywood elites at the Golden Globes how the rest of the country (and world) see them and their sanctimonious speeches at masturbatory award shows. He's a rare lefty that seems to get that leftism can go too far, when it starts trying to censor and bully and preen.

The Boys (TV)
American a very dark, gory, anti-Corporate, cynical take on Superheroes, on Amazon Prime. Since the Superheroes were human, they'd come with human flaws (like egomania, gluttony, agendas). And of course, they would be controlled by their handlers/overlords, and the public manipulated through marketing. Interestingly fresh, boringly left thinking.

Washington Post
A once great paper, now a liberal fake news rag that looks more like Bezos Blog (or the DNC's blog) than an objective Newspaper. To be fair, WaPo was always walking in the Grey Lady's (NYT's) shadow, and Jeff Bezos acquisition didn't change much... now that the NYT in the mud, it's no surprise that WaPo is crawling in the sewer. Here is a partial list of falsehoods, embarrassments, and mistakes.

Whole Foods
Amazon acquired WholeFoods, which sounds like an unusual purchase, until you think about the demographics and location of their stores: high density, urban, affluent. This is where Amazon would want to start if they're doing distribution from the most profitable and highest density places first.

Conclusion

I keep wondering if they ever field test this stuff before thinking up these ideas. Are we really beyond redemption, or are they?

Woke Leftist terms mean the opposite. "Woke" means asleep about the true agenda: it's Marxism wrapped in Social Justice costume.
