Don’t worry this dumbass thinks the only slavery is cotton fields
Don’t waste your time man. We’re literally BLACK im sure we understand the nuances and destructiveness of slavery
He’s a conservative and he doesn’t believe in the concept of a predatory and destructive workplace fundamentally so he’ll never concede
nah i know but i be wanting to meet black ppl where they at yk what i mean
like f*** yt conservatives they can die but i still be having faith in our ppl even when they lost
just want my brother to see the light
Amazon has even gotten the local authorities to shorten the time of stoplights outside of the plant so that union organizers can’t hand out pro-union literature so that union organizers can’t hand out pro-union literature easily to workers passing in their cars.
This is the craziest thing i have read today

A nice read for some of the morons itt
If you think comparing Amazon workers to slaves is ok, then I encourage you to learn about even the slightest bit of the history of slavery. You can’t possibly be this dense.
Don’t say that Bill! The truth is sunlight to these urchins!
Being an amazon shill in 2021 might be the most desperate thing in the world
real villainy
It is a cynical use of identity politics because
1) you’re white and you’re haranguing on a irrelevant point while fighting against black workers trying to get a semblance of a better life at their workplace
2) you revealed your politics on the matter in that dumbass “amazon already does better than the govt” post but yet you’re covering your opinions under the guise of you just being really “concerned” that “white leftists” understand the devastation of slavery
Dumb motherfucker you think these majority BLACK workers pushing this union are white leftists or don’t understand how slavery was evil?
nothing worse in life than when people cynically use anti racism to protect things that are obviously harmful and unfair to black people lol
I used to dunk on white leftists but I'm gonna refrain on that because I see now how that narrative is used
The fact that this should be standard and isn't.
That would destroy small business
I meannnnnn
$15/hr when 1 man is close to being a trillionaire
He built the company, that’s the whole point of starting your own thing. Plus Amazon is huge so different positions pay differently. I interviewed for a position there that paid like 130 not including equity
i reported him because he's a troll. he always has been, its why he was banned previously and now thats he's unbanned he's right back at it. and no, i'm not comparing the two. that was a quote of frederick douglass comparing the two. whether wage slavery is as bad as chattel slavery, which it isn't, is not the point. the point is, it is the subjugation of one party to another party, through different means and methods. The only people operating are bad faith are the ones who invoke slavery whenever people talk about the s***ty conditions of the working class today in order to obfuscate from the issues of exploitation by way of wage slavery.
Wait. You’re white this whole time, I’ve been duped
I heard those amazon warehouse jobs are the closest thing to slavery
depends on which one, i couldn’t imagine working at any warehouse in Alabama that’s already suspect but the ones in my state i’ve heard are pretty lenient
That's most forms of manual labour which focuses very much on short term gain for the majority, than long term consequences diluted by time in favour of the minority
Lifting heavy s*** f***s up your body if you aren't built for it (Which many more aren't), Is a pay check really worth a lifetime of potential suffering?
it’s not and that’s why people who promote trades all the time make me laugh a little because yes you will be making potentially lots of money but you will have no time to enjoy life outside of work nor will your body appreciate you later on
truly i would only work for amazon part time and never do full time work at an manual labor job like that that’s crazy to me
You think if I get accepted for a job at amazon and quit after a week or two I can get that Bezos stimulus
like why are yall not supporting the workers who want to make a union?
look at the literal wage cages lol
to think another human being designed this s*** is wild
He built the company, that’s the whole point of starting your own thing. Plus Amazon is huge so different positions pay differently. I interviewed for a position there that paid like 130 not including equity
Amazon also is worth billions of dollars
They can pay warehouse workers more than 15/hr lmao
i was joking 💀💀
He's pressed over nothing, it was cleary a joke but I guess he needed to let his frustrations about some black people out...
