Fuck man, Ree members are so brave.

I shop at Amazon semi-regularly but will be abstaining for the next few days.

Reminds me of when people had a "Boycott Gasoline" day here to protest rising gas costs. Prices went up like 20% the day after the protest.

I love the slacktivism at play here. Definitely at not going to watch the presidential inauguration levels of effort.

yeah it doesn't even need reiterating but

literally everyone avoids doing tons of things every day

all your grandparents are boycotting amazon and sending the exact same message as you

the message amazon will receive is not "we should treat our employees better," it's likely just "oh dang we should've offered better deals or a different pricing configuration to entice those people"

or even "ahh another highly successful prime day, good work all"

[Momo]

Fuck it, I'll cop the ban I don't give a fuck.

I want this thing dead. As a doornail.

And since it's obese and elderly, it'll happen soon. And I will fucking CELEBRATE. Full charcoal BBQ. Even in snowy winter.

That THING isn't human. It's a pedophile. It's a rapist. It's a racist. It's a vile disgusting pathetic creature and I can't wait for it to croak. And I will fucking celebrate!

Mods have at me!

Look at all the ~~~Enlightened European~~~ countries that lost their damn minds when brown people came seeking refuge and opportunity.

A lot of those progressive countries are only progressive as long as everyone looks like them. The moment they start getting more diverse, you see calls to gut the welfare state; rhetoric about "those people" being takers, moochers, "not like us"; and increased and more overt bigotry.

I like how this dumb shit doesn't even read his own fucking article, as he's too busy sniffing his own farts.

At the peak in 2015, 160,000 refugees sought asylum in Sweden, a country of 10 million people. That is equivalent to more than five million refugees arriving in the United States in a year.

Look at a map, dumbshit. Look at the size of these countries that refugees are fleeing to after the US bombed them out of their homes.
We're talking the equivalent of 5 times what the US freaked out about so much they want to build a fucking wall.

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?

  Uh, Oliver is a favorite of centrists.  He is centrism.   

[Leadbelly]

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.

"Why is Oliver suddenly a favorite target of frustrated centrist commentators?  It's like going into a bowling alley in the early 90s, saying 'hey, can I have a size 9 and the girl at the register tells you, 'Sorry, we only have size 10 and 8 and you're like "I'M GONNA GO JERK OFF IN MY CAR AND EAT POP TARTS BECAUSE THERE'S NO CENTER.  THERE'S NO CENTER ANYMORE.

However, what you're saying is going way wayyyy too far. Under no circumstances should you be belittling and attacking people for seeking humane working conditions or equating those conditions with stupidity or lack of effort on their part.

lol yah that's not at all confusing or intentionally misleading.

"When I say I hate white people, I mean the BAD white people."

This whole "whiteness is not about the color of your skin, it's the system of supremacy" or whatever is easily the most manipulative word wonking in recent memory. They want to create a negative feeling for the color of someones skin, full stop. Imagine saying that blackness has an inherent negativity and when confronted about it you use a bullshit excuse of "oh, yah I mean blackness as an idea, not literally your skin color". That shit wouldn't and shouldn't fly, and neither should this.

I don't know what to add besides that the discourse in Sweden on the refugees was pretty similar to an imaginary "debate" between the best and brightest from Resetera and Neogaf

Found in the comment section for his one of his comics.

@112lenapah

The purpose of any business enterprise is to make a profit and grow. Literally that is all that matters. Jobs and increased economic activity and opportunity are merely side effects, not the prime purpose.

So tell me…….how many veterans, old, poor and sick people do you lay off (cut off benefits) to achieve a “profit” in government? And how does that profit get distributed? Lower taxes? which will in turn lower benefits again and increase suffering.

The perfect recipe for a violent overthrow.

Look at all the ~~~Enlightened European~~~ countries that lost their damn minds when brown people came seeking refuge and opportunity.

A lot of those progressive countries are only progressive as long as everyone looks like them. The moment they start getting more diverse, you see calls to gut the welfare state; rhetoric about "those people" being takers, moochers, "not like us"; and increased and more overt bigotry.

I like how this dumb shit doesn't even read his own fucking article, as he's too busy sniffing his own farts.

At the peak in 2015, 160,000 refugees sought asylum in Sweden, a country of 10 million people. That is equivalent to more than five million refugees arriving in the United States in a year.

Look at a map, dumbshit. Look at the size of these countries that refugees are fleeing to after the US bombed them out of their homes.
We're talking the equivalent of 5 times what the US freaked out about so much they want to build a fucking wall.

His argument is also bullshit considering that even in Turkey people have turned on refugees despite sharing skin color and faith. When there's a sudden huge influx of foreigners tensions are going to be high, that's how it is.

Exactly - turkey is picking up way more than its 'fair share' of refugees, because they're the closest safe haven destination possible, and its not like turkey is an economic super power at the best of times.
Refugees inherently need a ton of help immediately, and sure, in 25 years time they're going to be the proudest fucking citizens of their new home possible, because they showed up in the proverbial rags without any possessions to their name and got housed, clothed, educated, fed and integrated as per their needs, but thats still a big resource drain upfront, because what else are you going to do? "welcome to your safe haven, figure shit out for yourself quickly, because you're dieing in the gutters if you don't".

Pretending that a hugely complex issue that bounces around all sorts of topics relating to what a society is, the limits of how much help you can give to those who need it without harming yourself by giving that help, the obligations of an international community, what rate of change a culture can endure while still recognisably being the same culture, and integration versus alienation that to boil it down to "cacs dont want to live near brown faces hurr durr" is offensively reductionist
