I don’t publish on Amazon. I don’t buy from Amazon. I refuse to support Bezos in any way whatsoever. This is obviously not going to upset him in the slightest, but that man is literally the modern-day embodiment of Roman emperor Caligula and his ilk. The work policies for Amazon warehouse staff are impossibly cruel and have massive negative impacts on employee’s physical and mental health. He doesn’t give a fuck. Just pays people as little as possible, uses them up, then tosses them on the scrapheap – there’s plenty more where they came from in his mind. I hate that he silences people by blocking all workers' attempts to unionise, preventing them from fighting for fair pay and working conditions so that he can live his life of debauchery with his multi-million-dollar weddings and foam parties on luxury yachts.

By Connor Makar, Published on Aug. 22, 2025

Excerpt: "[Scott Alsworth from the #UK's #IWGB Union] credits the increase in #unionisation efforts to several factors: #TechnologicalDisplacement (especially poignant with the push for #AI), a greater number of #WorkingClass people joining the video game industry who bring a greater awareness of unionisation, and a response to the state of the industry as a whole."
