"No matter how badly Amazon treats its workers, we all keep shopping there"

Who is "we"?

Not me.



Nor I, I actually live in a country where Amazon mostly does not work. It's how most, if not all major publications talk about Amazon. I see it as part of a narrative of "oh no, anyway", and an attempt to ensure apathy to the whole situation. It's absolutely not an attempt to get us to think critically about how, and from where we consume. If the narrative that Amazon is abusive to their staff, _but we're not going to do anything about it_ like we are told, then we won't think further into other major problems in our western supply chain.
