I’m a socialist my dude. Did Amazon also pay me to write that article about how Jeff Bezos is just a lucky privileged idiot who doesn’t deserve even a fraction of his wealth?

FYI I actually think the current boycott is worthwhile since it’s in conjunction with a union action and it is a collective, organized act. My entire critique is about individualized acts of “boycotting” Amazon (which strictly speaking aren’t boycotts proper but half-assed slacktivism that is mostly performative)
