Much like the legal settlements of nonsense cases, this is yet another example of right wing virtue signaling and not because this is a place to do effective marketing.

Sad thing is we the consumer are the ones who keep them where they are? Until people realize that these jerks will continue to grow because of us? Every step they take should show the world what they think of those who put them there? Time to wake up and clap back!
I've been trying to boycott Amazon, but it's *very* difficult because they power about a third of e-commerce with AWS, and it's not like websites advertise whose infrastructure they use.
His little yacht got boarded on New Year’s Day. Amazon sells body bags. I often wonder how many dead bodies are on Jeff E’s little island. I am supper happy they found love in a hopeless place. Screwing everyone else out of money while they make a dime. I hope Mark tells all.
It worked in the 60’s when Black People stopped taking busses and buying from Woolworth’s. They changed their policies when it hit their earnings. We can do it.
It feels SO GOOD to be free of Amazon and specifically Prime. I wish I'd done it sooner. I have one other thing to return, then I'm going to delete my entire account so they'll (hopefullly...I think...) no longer have any record of me and all the fucking money I spent. I feel ashamed I ever used it.
Wish there was an alternative to Amazon. That is the one company I'm finding it hard to get away from. I do try to buy from small businesses on there. Any suggestions?
Im starting to do that and order stuff on etsy. A lot of the stores where I am are GOP supporters as I'm in a red state. We have a Costco, though, so that is nice.
How do we get rid of the dictator and the far-right in his orbit?
Start by going after the oligarchs.
Stop buying from Amazon
Cancel your Twitter-X profile & don't buy a Tesla
Stop using all the Meta platforms
Cancel your WaPo subscription
Don't follow journalists/media who bent the knee
Etc.
Stop using Twitter-X, Facebook, Instagram, Threads & WhatsApp (Meta platforms).
The oligarchs are toxic for us, common citizens. They exploit us, control us, sell our private data and use their platforms as propaganda chambers for the far-right.
Same. It’s been months since I purchased from Amazon. I also haven’t been to Walmart for over a month. I’ve cut back on all spending. No unnecessary purchases. Deactivated all META accounts. Deleted Twitter/X and TikTok. More people need to do these things.
Musk and Trump have been in communication with Putin prior the 2024 election. Trump is beholden to Russia for bailing him out financially. Both men are malignant narcissists. Musk’s access to the federal payment system is Putin’s access.
Fuck X. Rich, elite pricks have the perfect puppet with the right size asshole that will fit the big tech 3's hands comfortably up in it since he wants to be considered rich and elite.
I have stopped giving Amazon any of my money. Yes, for political reasons but, if is way past due for economic reasons. The only way to send a message to Bezos is by not spending money.
Zuckerberg has been really performative. For a guy who's usually pretty mild and laid back about things to have gotten this loud tells me something is going on.
Elon is going for broke and everybody else probably hasn't fully grasped what that means for them, especially as he does it openly.
good. let them milk/bilk morem oney out of theie prescious followers. It fyou have beenaying attention you are no longer on x and not buying from amazom meta, tesla/x or any of the ogligarchs aht ae destryoing this country with OUR MONEY! STOP SUPPORTING FASCSIM!
I spend summers way out on the prairie so I get the inconvenience of avoiding the big box bad actors. It’s a sacrifice to source from only clean players. And worth every penny not given to the machine.
Amazon can do whatever Amazon wants but I cancelled Prime a long time ago and given the deterioration of their delivery service (overnight is now like a week plus) in Canada I’ll never be using them again.
Giving money to Nazi supporters seems like a bad idea, but what do I know?
Well, Amazon, Meta and Musk can support each other as much as the want, but they won't see a single penny from me. Cancelled Amazon, deleted Twitter right before became X, FB and Insta just read only. Probably will delete later. For now, no posts, no likes or any interaction.
Cancelled all Amazon related subscriptions and services. No cash for the fascists. I hope others will also do the same. At the end of the day we have them outnumbered.
You see. Instead of supporting Nazi dog whistling, you could threaten to leave America for another country to run you businesses and head offices. Really do the right thing, money talks after all. But no, wealth hoarders gotta stick together.
Deleted my Twitter account sometime ago, and have completely scaled back all purchases on Amazon. No desire to continue to be a cog in their machine. These guys suck.
why do so many still give their valuable attention and dollars to Meta, X and Amazon? If enough people just quit Amazon for a mere week a point could be made #powerofthepurse
If everything Trump's done so far along with tomorrow's tariffs and what we suspect is coming, soon there's not going to be much disposable income floating around.
On the plus for the one-percenters, a lot of distressed assets will be up for grabs. REITs will love it!
I truly don't understand handing your dollars over to the billionaires at this point. Time to stop making excuses. Your lives really can work without their "help".
I would call it gang signaling. The concept of virtue is unknown in those lands. Bezos is paying a bribe to the de facto president. It doesn’t matter that the latter is the richest man in the world.
As Elon musk spent around $300M in 2024 election to influence the GOP and reap the return of his political investment for personal benefits and vendetta, all these billionaires are now catching up in the rat race to make this guy happy!
They probably don’t miss me. I’ll be one of those people in the future who were like those post WWII who refused to ever purchase an IBM product. Amazon is no longer.
Hey Kara, love you but where’s the real opposition here? Hearing nothing to stop the march of Trump. As an Australian observer am dismayed at the lack of political and social resistance. We the world are terrified at what is happening to your country.
I made it three weeks and then I needed a specialty product that was going to cost me twice and much and take way longer to get elsewhere. It’s a part for my espresso machine and I need coffee!
I used the 1.99 week trial of prime to get it tomorrow- I’ll be canceling before the weeks is up.
Some things you might not be able to get affordably elsewhere, needing to get by is understandable. I have to drive an hour to get to a shopping center, I get the necessity sometimes. It’s just not the first and definitely not the only place I’ll go to now. I’ll only use it if it is the only place.
EVERYONE IS SCARD OF POS trump !!!! THIS WILL ALL CHANGE WHEN THE POS IS GONE .. WHY SHOULD THE WORKERS AT AMAZON, WHO WORK VERY HARD HAVE TO SUFFER ... ONLY THE WORKERS WILL SUFFER !!!! POS trump WILL LOVE THIS !!!
From so many stories that I’ve heard everyone at Amazon already is suffering. I don’t think they won’t replace them with robots as soon as possible anyway. Punish Amazon. Punish Facebook. Punish Twitter. Punish every billionaires business because they are only billionaires because of us.
Corporate gangsterism. In essence, companies are being forced to advertise on platforms that don’t represent their values but the alternative is worse. They didn’t teach this in Business Schools but I bet curriculum will start changing very soon.

Keep looking for alternatives.
Maybe this will lead to strengthening local and smaller businesses.
Stop feeding the oligarchs.
Do you hear that stockholders. Make your votes count.

No loss in either case Amazon is no longer the cheapest Screwfix (UK) often beats them as do many other retailers.
Just a thought.
How about everybody who did NOT vote for a billionaire oligarchy just stopped all Amazon orders for 3 months.
Do you think Bezos would get the message?
I saw local businesses advertising on X so now I know where not to go.

We must rebel. It's time to act. No more excuses.
We are actively boycotting all stores/corporations/streaming services/media/SM aligning with the Musk/Trump Regime.
Fuck that shit.

#FuckAmazon
They will collaborate because of survival in numbers, and strong-man worship and/or identification. Nothing more.
You're positing a soul where there is none.
Leon can’t stand that.
I live in a rural red spot. Walmart/Tractor Supply/John Deere/Ford everywhere!!!

Left the former on "sink day".
Minimizing use of the latter EVERY DAY.
Back to brick-and-mortar for me. Or else other websites for online shopping.
Enough w/the #broligarchy

Divest from the false reality they’re selling us!
These people still have their MySpace accounts too? 🤔
Losers.

I’ve had it with these a$$hats
But also, a place where we can engaged, raise awareness, and convert.
X is not that place.
