> Any reason you think Amazon would not care about PB demonstrations?

Yes.

> Why are these groups operating in secret if they're supported by Amazon?

I’m not saying they’re supported, to be clear.

As to why they operate in secret, to the extent they do: they’re fascists. That’s somewhat more socially acceptable today than it was 20 years ago, but still generally frowned upon to admit outright.

> What an absolutely ridiculous thing to say.

Come stand out on the streets in company town and get to know some of the locals, I guess?

> This is like saying that Taco Bell employs racists. Yes, undoubtedly it does, because 200,000 people work for taco bell and at least some of them are bound to be racist. But how exactly are you going from that fact, to the idea that Taco Bell condones racists?

A fair point. I can’t tell you how many Taco Bell employees are also fascists, it’s bound to be greater than zero. I can say that the proportion of highly organized fascists are generally not slinging fast food.




> Yes

Go ahead and share your reasons then please.

> I can say that the proportion of highly organized fascists are generally not slinging fast food.

Instead, they're slinging boxes in fulfillment centers?

I'm sorry, I just don't believe you. There are clearly racists and fascists working for Amazon, due to the sheer size of it, but to suggest that Amazon would protect them is ridiculous.
