Why Jeff Bezos’ Amazon Is More Evil Than Walmart and McDonald’s

209. rationalization

Reading some of the posts and realizing this represents the alternative to republican thought is indeed depressing. By much of the logic here, I should feel good about buying goods from a plantation where the workers are slaves as long as I do not have to see the slaves being whipped.

As long as I can get my purchases for a cheap price I should not care if the products are made by little children? That is a logical extension of much of the nasty libertarianism I read here.

When workers co-operate in their own oppression by siding with the 1% of oppressors rather than stand against the oppressors it is obvious why the 1% is winning at class warfare in the US.

But I am still hopeful in spite of all the nonsense expressed here because, when polled, a majority of Americans state that they would prefer to be unionized. In spite of all the media nonsense about the evil of unions, people know that the boss is never your friend.

Again ND-Dem, keep it up because, to quote one of my heroes, "the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice".
