Pants have a history of sexism

I zapped into it on TV right when this guy showed up. It was surreal. That whole parade is surreal. I know it's a french tradition but it still feels very wrong imo.

Prime Day virtue signalling is pretty insane on re today;  people being called "scabs" for linking to deals lol

I saw somebody saying to boycott Amazon because they treat their employees badly and shop at Wal-Mart instead.

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.

[thisismyusername]

What if you don't like Taco Bell and never have?

The get the fuck out of our trap house, nicca.

[VomKriege]

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?

[VomKriege]

The French are encroached enough in Africa to know what they are doing. Certainly much more than the average Era member.

I'll have you know that ERA plays it tactical !

[VomKriege]

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

It's the one day a year France shows off their military. The US flies stealth bombers over fucking baseball games.

This is the easiest strike ever to participate in these deals fuckin' suck. 

No kidding, I had a look at the vidya games section and there was nothing even remotely interesting there.

Yeah, the Echo got a deep discount, but I’d rather drop dead than spending money for the privilege of being spied on.

They are mostly terrible in my country. but holy shit there nothing this year...

[team filler]

Haven't bought anything but have seen a few good deals;  people on all sides of this are such whiny bitches.

How can anyone get any ideas when you don't post links

[stufte]

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!

Preordered a Megadrive Mini yesterday though  

[stufte]

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.

[GreatSageEqualOfHeaven]

lulubu must be whining up a storm on Discord over their ban

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

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"

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. OH, WHAT'S THIS NEW FLAVOR? "SMORES"?  WELL, THAT'S NOT GOING TO LAST!"

Bruh I'm just ignoring that stuff he has every right to talk about it and I've personally made peace with the idea that if I buy something it's during a time one of the centers is striking (I personally will choose "no rush" shipping so that it ships out outside of the strike period I get it doesn't fix anything but hey). 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.

White America means the white supremacist side of the white population in America

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.
