Jeff Bezos and Amazon are a fucking blight upon the working class. He got rich by treating rank and file employees like hot garbage toiling under dehumanizing, backbreaking conditions for shitty pay. When there are this many random strangers across various sectors/departments of a single company sharing similar horror stories, that can’t be dismissed as just a few disgruntled ex-employees. Grievances like these are why I quit using Amazon. They made my life easier at the expense of thousands of hardworking people being mistreated and disrespected behind closed doors. (thread)
The craziest thing about all this to me is there are still people who will say that he’s worked hard for his money and so we should be happy that he’s going to be the first trillionaire. If you are one of these people… fuck you.
we are seeing the narrative shift. they are trying to co-opt and sanitize the movement by separating the “legitimate” peaceful protests from the “ilegitimate” riots. don’t buy into it. the riots are a legitimate expression of community rage and pain. they want peaceful protests without the threat of riots behind them because those are easy to crush, ignore, or placate with meaningless reforms. the movement needs to be threatening to the established order for meaningful change to be possible.
