   Hate how Washington Post is not standing up against fascism?

   Stop shopping at Amazon!
   Stop using Audible!
   Stop buying Kindles!
   Stop shopping at Whole Foods!
   Don't buy a Ring!

   This is where Jeff Bezos earns his money. This is how he can buy the media to muzzle them. This is where we give him the power to help destroy democracy.

   And they are not monopolies – yet. You can still find all you need elsewhere. Support your local shops if you can, but at least stop using these!

     @tk You can't take responsibility for every part of the chain of everything you use. But you can chose to stop giving money to one of the most dangerous people alive directly. Or at least reduce it.

     And I'm not saying this is your intention, but I have seen this argument used as a "you can't do anything, so you might as well not even try" when I've posted about this before, and that is insane to me. And dangerous and bad.

     Yes, but also only part of the picture – the real earner for Amazon is their cloud services
     (AWS). It's nigh impossible to boycott Amazon as an internet user 🥲
