    My statements weren’t meant to be adversarial and don’t take this as disagreeing because I don’t. I’m on board with that. If you support Amazon, you’re complicit in exploiting the working class people that get exploited by the company. If you don’t support Amazon, those same workers are going to get fired to make sure profits still go up. Most people know on some level that Amazon fucks over it’s workers but that has not stopped a lot of people from ordering more cheap garbage they don’t need.

      Adversarial isn’t the right word but the beginning of your comment was dismissive of an individuals actions and impact. It seems like an honest mistake but this sentence specifically is not helpful:

      The sentiment of deleting your account is nice but it’s a drop in the ocean.

      Yes, a major societal shift must occur but do you know how that happens? A significant number of individuals making a choice to act. By implying an individuals actions are “a drop in the ocean” you are discouraging people to act by implying it’s pointless. You are hurting the cause, not helping it.
