    If Jeff Bezos wasn’t here, it would be some other cunt. Don’t hate the player, hate the game. It’s capitalism which rewarded his exploitation of slave labour. And using slaves isn’t that new of an idea. If it wasn’t him, it would have been someone else, because there’s an entire system rewarding this exact kind of putrid behaviour.

      We shouldn’t absolve people of their sins because someone else might have acted the same.

      You’re right, but we should also hate Bezos.

      Don’t hate the player, hate the game.

      We can and should absolutely do both. The game is perpetuated by the players.

      Sure maybe. But would they just be cunts or kinda cunts or do they see employees piss in bottles and go: man these workers have too much free time.
