    I sincerely think this will be the direction of liberalism, in the next few years. Revanchist BS to justify why people in red states should suffer, combined with insane idpol language to lob out to pull focus from legitimate criticisms. "You're criticizing the fact that Jackson hasn't had drinkable water for 2 months? You must be anti-black, because their mayor Lumumba is black!"

      A reply:

      And they are doing it on Twitter, which is hosted on AWS. People dont grasp, that boycotting Amazon means stopping to use over 50% of the internet.

      AAAHHHH

        Great to know Jeff Bezos won’t have to pay PR firms a billion dollars to get people to like him like Bill Gates had to

          Billionaire fanboi-ism is entrenched in our culture. We're raised to assume wealth = virtue, and so the wealthiest among us are necessarily our icons.

        Me, an idiot leftist who doesn't understand anything: "Even setting aside the whole no-ethical-consumption-under-capitalism thing, maybe a national internet monopoly is... you know... bad?"

        You, a neoliberal economic genius: "I bet Trump paid you to think that."

          To clear some things up: I’m actually pro-union, but am ABHORRENTLY anti-“our hashtag and boycott will change things” that extreme leftists believe in.

          Lmao, yeah the extreme left and their belief in market-based solutions.

            If that's really what they meant, why didnt they just say that? Why bring up that it's a red state at all?

    Yeah, it's the Alabamans that are the bad guys here. Jesus fucking Christ. What is his suggestion even? Give Amazon more business because the Alabama working class is simply too pro-Amazon?
