I think it’s a fair point the author is making. There is no ethical production or consumption under capitalism. I’m not saying (and I don’t think the author is either) that Amazon or Bezos are the victims here… more so I think the author was just framing their discontent with Amazon not around the ethics of it (which is an easy cop out, I guess) but from a more practical standpoint. Also I do agree with the author here. The system/machine is built to incentivize operations like Amazon to thrive. If Amazon wasn’t around doing what they do (displacing small businesses, being a horrible employer, delivering cheap made in china junk in one day, forcing small sellers to adhere to their strict pricing schemes, etc) there would be another company doing that. Just the reality of things from my perspective
