What the fuck does that have to do with this ? You do not need Amazon. It's a luxury service with questionable ethics.
The burn is admitting you use Amazon at all.
I very, very seldomly use it. But infighting like you're advocating for is exactly what giga corporations want us to do. What we SHOULD be doing is demanding better policies from companies, and electing officials who will enforce those demands.
The rich want us to fight each other so we forget it's us vs them and we vastly outnumber them. Don't fall for it.
I'm not fighting you, I'm calling out people addicted to bezosmilk, going on to complain about the taste.
Although if anyone is on the side of gigacorp consumption as the appropriate pattern, then I am fighting that behavior. (Especially when what's offered is a market of luxury convenience)
Not engaging with gigacorps is the way.
Like, I'm not gonna care about defending the position of addiction. It's like the sports gambling meme
