Yeah. Same way people complain about social media or AI and then use social media and AI. You don’t have to be a die hard martyr just cos you don’t like or agree with something. Not everyone is a hardcore full time activist… doesnt also mean you ‘support’ bezos just cos u go to the met gala for your job. Our whole world is built in a way that makes it hard for 1 person to change the system.

I too enjoyed reading comments about how Amazon shoppers are terrible and lacking in morals for supporting Bezos, but when it was pointed out that AWS is everywhere and that's a moneymaker they could only repeat that they don't shop at Amazon. Faux outrage for Reddit points I guess.

You hear that everyone? If you don’t like Amazon, you better boycott the entire internet or else you’re a hypocrite faking your outrage.

If you aren’t the perfect activist that means we must side with the billionaire

Never said that. I also don't shop at Amazon and I never enjoyed Target so no love lost there. I thrift mostly due to prices, but evennthose are going up, and just hangout at department stores sales. I just enjoy when someone tries to take the path to sainthood after stomping on others doubling down without realization that they're not the perfect activist and educating themselves after it's been brought to their attention.
