It's ok if you want to avoid certain products that are harmful so you feel you contribute something little at least. It's good to make bad practices public too. It's only once you start to annoyingly preach about it that you look like a stupid hypocritical bitch. The entire system of consumer 1st world society is built upon the fact that someone else has to bear the burden for it. No one's devoid of supporting bad practices, unless you're a hermit living off selfmade goat milk in some mountain shack. If not, gtfo with any aggressive holier-than-thou attitude.

I love how that dumb comic equates slacktivism with hard labour like carrying rocks and shit. 

[marrec]

It's even more hilarious when you realize these people got their progressive agenda on Amazon from a snarky comedian who works for a media conglomerate who among other things... partners with Amazon.

This isn't really fair, the case against Amazon has been building for a long time and there have been calls for boycotts on Prime Day at least going back 3 years.

Tangentially, why is Oliver suddenly a favorite target of frustrated centrist commentators?

I'm not targeting Oliver, I think he's great at what it does.

I just saw his comedy routine on Amazon being used in a thread when someone asked why they should boycott amazon and I find that kind of hilarious. 

I don't have an issue with people boycotting amazon either way so whatever, call me a centrist if it makes that gap in your teeth feel smaller.

Quoting myself because fuck you marrec.

Did you quote this just so I'd see the gap-tooth jab?

Tasty:  If boycotting amazon makes someone feel like they are contributing to something, then that's fine.  I don't expect people to be 100% consistent in all aspects of everything.  A "vegan" who once a year eats a steak isn't erasing the 364.75 days of the year they are more ethically consuming.

What I'm making fun of in this thread is people posting on a video game forum doing things like demanding Polygon don't link to Prime Deals;  they are expecting all of this 100% perfect activism when the very forum they are posting on represents all kinds of problematic capitalism.

In the end it makes it all feel like virtue signaling, and not real activism.

"B-b-but the website you are posting on is hosted on amazon" = lame BS to me.. but that's exactly what resetera users are doing right now.. on a forum hosted on AWS.

Agreed, although I will say the perspective shifts depending on whether you consider product boycotts as virtue signalling and/or slacktivism vs. "real" activism. And it's a sliding scale for every issue like this... does forcing everyone to have separate bins for recycling actually do any good? Probably not, so I can see someone criticizing me for doing so as "virtue signaling." On the other coin of the hand, boycotts have been known to work (depending on the product, company, and goals involved.)

But I agree with you in this instance. Resetera has become a good case study on outrage culture.

I’ve never even seen anything legit bad about amazon.  It all comes across as whining considering they pay higher than market rate.  *shrug*

/centrist

it seems to be mostly about anti union practices and refusal to sign collective bargaining agreements though.

And one might suspect this is the main reason they aren't active in Sweden, even Lidl had to sit down with the unions here.

But why does France do this kind of display? This sort of reverence for military might, is... unnerving.

 

Fran: You know, in Tibet, if they want something, do you know what they do? They give something away.
Bernard: They do, do they? That must be why they're such a dominant global power.

/centrist

It's the national sport.

Once a company becomes dominant in a segment, they then become the reason for all the ills that are related to their industry. McDonalds is blamed for obesity and low-paying jobs, Wal-mart is blamed for small town businesses closing, Amazon is blamed for tax evasion (and more in the future).

It's this focal point, or totem for intellectually lazy people to fling their beefs at. You're seen as 'punching up' and no one is really going to push back on you, because who wants to be the cuck that defends those corporations?

Considering it’s France I‘m also wondering why there aren‘t more protests to having such a big parade every year.

User Banned (3 Days): Trolling & Hostility over a series of posts in this thread; history of hostility related ban

because its exactly the level of derailing hostility and self-aggrandising performative wokeness that generally gets allowed in threads about, say, youtubers or thq.

sucks for them amazon pays good ad moneys and monitors referral links!

also:

User banned (1 day): Trolling, antagonizing other users.

Nice, been buying loads from Amazon recently so the next few days should be good

I'll buy extra as well just cover what lulubou sn't buying
