What a beautiful example of propaganda, in the truest sense of the term.
The guitar intro is folksy, the guy is warm and lovely, and _excited_ to
have us at this training.... it's about your "success".
Success of course, is not getting fired for being a collaborator with
counter-revolutionary "associates" who reject Generalissimo Uberführer
Bezos inspired vision and "history making" five year masterplan for
"direct working relationships".
I can honestly imagine this in a museum of the 21st Century one day,
like how you can go to the British Museum and watch 1938 films of
"doctors" measuring Jew's heads for criminal degeneracy.

- bigDinosaur 3y agoIn this case it is hyperbolic. Amazon is many bad things, but Nazis they are not (I shouldn't have to say that).
- couchand 3y agoI don't think the original comparison was inapt -- the video is hard evidence of appalling and disgusting propaganda. It will not be viewed kindly by history.
- hnlmorg 3y agoA comparison doesn’t mean a literal equivalence. It means a similarity. In this case there is a similarity with regards to the propaganda. They’re not equivalent but there are definitely not unlike each other either.
- Vinnl 3y agoBut the point of the comparison is not to make Amazon/Bezos out to be Nazis; it's to point out that this practice might in the future be looked upon as an artefact of the times that hopefully no longer happen in the museum visitor's time.
- Maschinesky 3y agoAre you aware of the following? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbeit_macht_frei?wprov=sfla1 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arbeit_macht_frei?wprov=sfla1 In my opinion this it's very well.
- sinman 3y agoI think the gp is kind to even call this "hyperbolic". There is no comparison between Amazon and a concentration camp, just because people are worked hard at amazon. The reason Auschwitz was bad was not because people worked hard there. It was because people were enslaved and murdered there. It would be like comparing a camp site to a concentration camp, because both are "camps". The comparison yields no useful insights.
- Maschinesky 3y agoIt's about the sentiment of work and working people to death for nothing. Unions make workconditions better
- npteljes 3y agoIt's not really a long discussion, we're jumping straight to the Nazi comparison.
- t0bia_s 3y agoYears 2020 and 2021 are rich for topic about propaganda. I never understood why there was something like holocaust in history. After covid, I understand how fear, media and oppression shape behavior. What bothers me more is question, if we can ever learn from history.
- flosstop 3y agoThe one thing we learn from history is that we learn nothing from history
- nonethewiser 3y agoI think human nature has a floor and ceiling. Capacity for good and bad that everyone shares. And I think people underestimate (or overestimate?) the floor of human nature. They think its higher than it is. And that everyone shares it. Thats not to say human nature is bad. Its a spectrum.
