    I cancelled my Prime subscription today, after 15 years. Just don’t want to contribute to that man anymore. Fuckin sociopaths ruining the world.

      I’ve been boycotting Amazon for over a decade on account of their shameless tax avoidance and evasion, the way they treat workers and even suppliers and the abuse of dark patterns on their website.

      For those paying attention it’s been painfully for more than a decade that Bezos is a total sociopath with not a shred of Ethics or Morals.

      This now is really just the emerging to visibility of another totally predicable natural reflection of that man’s sick sociopathic views when it comes to other human beings and entrenching of his top-parasite position in this society.

      That’ll do it. You inconveniencing your life will surely be worth it in the bigger picture.

          Never used Amazon, the website is trash, the filter sucks and the search sucks. It’s the worst designed shopping experience, looks like a ebay market but worse for some reason.

          Besides most media or Newspaper companies/organizations are biased, it’s what they don’t write and how they skew the political news or events towards a certain narrative. They are all scumbags, media is by far the most responsible for the current state that the world is in.

          And choice is an illusion, you support Amazon wether you like it or not - mostly indirectly.

              Yeah they launched amazon in Sweden a few years ago, I don’t know anyone at all that buys anything from Amazon. We have better alternatives, thank God for that.

            Thinking you’re free of any and all contributions is worthy of ridiculous.

            Ironically, acting superior to others because they contribute in ways you don’t is an arrogance that contributes to making the system as it is.

              You know what, I’m just tired of this shit. Maybe it was harsh or unnecessary, I’m not going to argue. But this shit has been happening for so many years and people still act like something happened overnight.

              Anyway, I’m sorry and I’m going offline. EOT.
