This has been coming since 2018. Is there no end to Amazon's dominance? I seriously worry that it's becoming a real threat to democracy.

Check out the Boots Riley directed movie Sorry To Bother You [1], they have a big company in that movie, called WorryFree, that is similar to Amazon where they offer lifetime labour contracts, it’s a very promising future! /sarcasm [1] https://youtube.com/watch?v=XthLQZWIshQ https://youtube.com/watch?v=XthLQZWIshQ

- Nasrudith 6y agoThreat to democracy and monopoly have been so bastardized by propaganda that they essentially colloquially mean "I don't like their speech/influence and want them to be illegal." and "They are big and I don't like them and think they shouldn't be allowed to exist!" respectively. They are soft eliminationism essentially.
