Ok so we've established that you have no problem with CIA operations and handing over 300 million at a pop to run disinformation domestically. OK so we know that about you. So let me ask you this. What do you think happens to society that barely has to go out of their house and just orders everything in? Maybe you think social commerce is outdated. Pretty much maybe you hare happy with pretty of fish for your interactions with women and Amazon for all your other needs. Hardly a need for another store. Do you think this has an impact on the social structure? I'm certain it has an impact on the retail sector, food sectors. By the way have you seen. book store recently? Pretty sure their gone. Will you be comfortable with the same for supermarkets, GAP, H&B, Sears, Macy's, K-Mart, maybe Walmart will remain who know. Wait I think most of them are closing already or close to it. When's the last time you saw a local pet store? Toy store. Pretty sure Toys R us is shit.
Face it. You're arguing for monopoly and deep state control of information, both of which Bezos represents. The signs are all around you. You happily agree. If fact, referring to "shaking hands with CIA". you state "I’d do that shit over dinner tonight!". Well, I guess if you don't admit something is wrong then you have no problem joining in. Only when you admit the problem would you stand up and fight. Better for you to agree with the encroaching tyranny than realize the injustice.
Well if I may explain myself a bit here;
1. I didn’t know what you meant by Washington Post and him helping spread misinformation, as I said, I needed to research that..
2. I actually enjoy meeting women in person over apps etc and I’m way more social in person than I am through these apps, I don’t even have an Instagram or Facebook.. I do think that this is a problem in society and because everyone is so concerned with their internet ego, I’ve actually turned into an introverted person in one of the biggest cities in the US, I’m in South Florida... Socializing here is dog shit, people are very materialistic and care about social status more than anything. There’s actually a famous phrase to describe the city I live in; “Sunny city, shady people”...
3. What do I think of a society that doesn’t need to leave their house for anything? Probably nothing good.. Im listening to you on that part... As to me it seems like even when people do leave their homes, they’re stuck on their phones anyway and pretending to be who they’re not because of what the internet and social status have created..
4. Yes I have seen a bookstore lately as I love to read, and I was actually pissed off because I love the smell of new books and holding them etc and the bookstore didn’t have what I was looking for and told me to try Amazon! Lmao ironic eh?
5. I’m not arguing for monopoly or someone controlling the information that’s given, but I mean you have to admit, someone choosing to read WaPo and taking it as gospel is their own problem.. It’s like someone getting their information from any other source... Now if you told me Bezos had control with the CIA to make all the information available from EVERY SINGLE SOURCE exactly to their liking I’d be with you man, I get you...
6. I’m not saying there isn’t injustice, I just haven’t seen it on a tyrannical level as you do on this particular subject which is why I asked what you’re talking about and that I need to do my research... But honestly, what are you and I going to do? Who’s fighting? Please give me one example of how “the people” are going to do a damn thing against politicians and the 1% billionaires who control this country? I just don’t see our society coming together to do anything like Iceland has when their government was corrupt or like the French recently did... People care too much about Instagram to make any kind of rebellion.. lol
7. As to the point I made where I said “I’d shake hands with them over dinner tonight.” Let me be clear.. I’m saying if I invented something that made me from a nobody like I am today to literally the richest man on earth with one of the worlds furthest reaching companies etc and I got a call/knock on the door by the CIA... I’m not fighting anyone lol.. You think I’m going to die and give up my BILLIONS for some unappreciative assholes?! Lmao fuck no.. I’ll keep my fortune and my peace...
Listen man, I sort of get where you’re coming from as I’m relating it to other situations... But like I said in point #6, what can we really do?
I gave up ALL HOPE when Edward Snowden literally outed the NSA and CIA and our government for breaking multiple laws and
NO ONE CARED... Not a fucking soul did a thing... And what happened to him? He’s stuck hiding in Russia for the rest of his life looking over his shoulder... I feel bad for him and I wish more people cared, but this life has made me not really care too much about a humanity that doesnt care for itself as a whole..
So because I know I’ll probably never have 100 billion dollars or any kind of influence on our government, I’m just trying to focus on myself and get my goals coordinated and actually leaving the US is a goal for me and my family... We don’t want to be here as I know things will get worse and they don’t really look out for our people, they only look out for the top 1%..
Hopefully I explained myself a little better.. I’m not against the big picture you’re talking about, I just didn’t understand the Amazon/Bezos situation.. Please post links of reference if possible, I’m genuinely interested..
