I trust Amazon because their practices make me feel warm and gooey inside. The fact that (foreign) workers are actively exploited just so I can get something delivered that I could have bought for roughly the same price in an actual store for roughly the same price while simultaneously supporting the local economy aligns nicely with my worldview. I trust Amazon because they treat their workers like cattle, allowing me to feel superior due the fact that I have not yet sunk low enough due to economic pressures that I have to leave my home (and family and/or country) in order to work for sub-standard wages in aforeign country without any actual enforcable rights. I trust Amazon because they successfully subvert union influence , hollowing out any form of social or political control in favour of laissez-faire. I trust Amazon because they fight essentially fight the fascism-socialism-communism of regulatory influence on a market. I trust Amazon because their ideology does not just include jostling workers like livestock, rather, it also allows right-wing security contractors with Neo-Nazi affiliations to watch and exert control over a mostly foreign workforce. I trust Amazon because it exploits present social laws if at all possible, showing us nicely that an international company really does good things for local communities. I trust Amazon, since it is a company that can in all seriousness act surprised once its systematic and systemic abuse of people is uncovered, feigning unawareness and promising immediate consequences. I trust Amazon because it can now hide behind the "mistake" made with a right-wing militiaesque security outfit instead of addressing the actual scandal, which is the ruthless exploitation of workers who have little choice. I trust Amazon because it can rely on our own inactivity, complacency and convenience which will let us order things instead of realising the sick machinery that Amazon's behaviour is just a product and example of and that is far more widespread, where everyone involved can defer responsibility because they are but a cog in an overall bigger, self-perpetuating scheme. http://www.sueddeutsche.de/bayern/neue-vorwuerfe-gegen-amazon-als-wuerden-die-menschen-dressiert-werden-1.1614066 http://www.sueddeutsche.de/bayern/neue-vorwuerfe-gegen-amazo...
