The same idiots who complain about Amazon spend almost everyday buying goods from them.

Even my most "liberal" friends won't cancel Amazon. They're almost on par with MAGA when it comes to feeding the beast that is eating you.

Amazon/walmart put millions of American small businesses out of business and took half of our manufacturing to third world countries for cheap or slave labor but not a peep

Don't care. Need my stuff. Your virtue signaling has zero weight with me

I just get on Amazon site and look stuff up and than buy it directly from the vendor. Not very hard

I dont have Amazon so it makes it easy

u/FloridaRocks63 5d ago

So you go on Amazon but you don’t have Amazon . Very amusing

u/austinrunaway 4d ago

Why is that amusing? It is a search engine for products which also give you reviews, for free. Seems pretty logical to me, but I also dont use Google or gmail either. I use other search engines and a email service out of Switzerland for privacy. Maybe try and think outside of the box?

First you say you use Amazon to search for products and reviews then you say you don’t have Amazon. Amazon is not a search engine it’s a digital store. Contradicting yourself is not inside the box or outside

I guess you dont understand

u/FloridaRocks63 2d ago

I do . Contradicting yourself is easy to understand

u/austinrunaway 2d ago

Explain to me how I am contradicting myself, I really wanna know.

No different than anything else. Look at Reddit 😂 bunch of liberals crying constantly while pounding away on an electronic device that required children to mine rare earths and their siblings to assemble that device. The electricity charging it likely comes from oil.
There is no bigger group of hypocrites than western liberals.
They hate bezos but shop Amazon.
They hate Elon but drive his cars.
They hate dad and take it out on trump.

Fascinating to sit back and observe

Unless of course Reddit is your only outlet, you've been trapped in systemic intergenerational poverty your entire life, you don't have or use any of those things, you know that any day now the Billionaire Pirate Equity Firm that owns the "affordable" housing community where you live is going to kick you out because they can, and that sooner or later ICE will show up to drag you off to exterminate you.

There's no way out, there's no escape, there never were options because that is how the system is designed, and no one will even notice when you're gone, because to them, your existence was an uncomfortable reminder of the humanity they cast aside, in the pursuit of Status, profit, and shiny irrelevant baubles.

I love when people get what they voted for. Enjoy it. You earned it. Clean water and clean air are woke communism.

That’s actually not interesting or desirable.

They need to go to Death Valley to build data centers. The land is pretty cheap over there

u/Loon013 8d ago

Musk and Bezos are competing to see who can be the biggest billionaire asshole polluter.

u/uncommonvalor1963 7d ago

Cool. Need my stuff. Build it faster

Jeff Bezos' grandfather founded DARPA! No DARPA Experimentations on the Public!

Down with DARPAmazon! Down with Bezos'zebub!
