You missed your calling, concocting conspiracy theories for Q'anon.
Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go eat a baby for breakfast...
I hope you are sated, Captain!

I prefer to shop at B&H.Maybe that logo is in reference to Jeff "Lex Luthor" Bezos because he really is an evil dictator.
This is nothing more than empty virtue signalling, something that is common among NeoLiberals and other false progressives. If these people actually gave a damn, they'd be protesting the horrible conditions that must be endured when working at Amazon. Whether or not the logo looks like Adolf Hitler's mustache (after applying a considerable amount of imagination) wouldn't be considered a priority until the REAL problems were addressed and solved. The substantive issues are far more important than the issues that could be best described as superficial.
If people are willing to regularly buy things from Amazon while ignoring the plight of their workers, then they're in no position to criticise anything about the company because clearly, the company is doing all that's needed to be successful at getting their business. The dollars that these people spend will always speak much louder to any business than the empty words that they use in hypocritical criticism.
This is why I've only purchased two things from Amazon and NOTHING from Wal-Mart in the past three years. I prefer to shop at Costco, a company with a CEO who treats the employees like human beings instead of machines. I refuse to be a hypocrite and I care far more about the actual business practices of a corporation than the logo that they use.
Yes, we know. When the right cancels something, it is not cancel culture. https://prospect.org/politics/altercation-when-the-right-cancels-it-it-aint-cancel-culture/
Everything those people ever pointed a finger at was canceled. Quit pretending.
The truth is I'm already there. It drives me insane when either side does it.Just keep bargaining down, bud..you're almost to "everyone does it!" LOL
On the upside stress is truly a killer so,Imagine the stress hormones of being offended by everything.
Frankly, I'm tired of people like you who seem to think that they have the only way.
Personally, I don't care if you are left or right.
However, when you spout the left this, the left that, you sure sound like you are on the right.
Prejudice much? Hypocrite much?
Right but, "heil Bezos" actually does. "Be" (b'ay), should be plenty percussive enough to pull that off.Heil Amazon! Noooooooo ..... it just doesn't have the same ring to it either. Can they teach a logo to goose step?
I'm not certain what B&H is, but if it's not Wal-Mart or Amazon, good on ya!I prefer to shop at B&H.
Don't feel too bad. I initially thought the same thing as you but then after reading it thrice, I thought "hmmm, maybe not". Then I saw your reply and his and I was like "Oooohhhh-Kayy..so he isn't some troll, he's got a conscience!".Well, then there we have it. I completely misunderstood what you meant. I truly feel like a dipshit so I hope you accept my apology.
I have some news for you. Whoever came up with this crap is not a progressive but an SJW. SJWs are NOT progressives and I say this as a progressive who sees SJWs as damaging to the real idea of what it is to be on the left. A real progressive won't try to control your thoughts because we don't want our thoughts controlled either, we're not hypocrites. Progressives are offended only by something overt because we're not always looking for something to fix. We generally tend to be oblivious until someone points something out to us and then we look at it, caring mostly about the intent. If the intent is clearly malevolent, then and only then do we call it out because we believe that the vast majority of conflicts are based on misunderstandings. This is clearly one of them. We don't tend to look for the superficial, we look for the substantive. Instead of worrying what's in a Dr. Seuss book, for example, we're more interested in actually helping the underprivileged with important things like food, housing, healthcare, education, etc. Dr. Seuss books are WAY down on the list of priorities for us. Nobody's going to starve or die of a disease from reading Dr. Seuss.I want you all to remember and be aware, for once, that the kind of thinking, mindset and ideology that makes people say absurd, unhinged, nonsensical and unjustified things like this is the exact same, or rather, the one, and with the same competency, that pushes for ALL "progressive" (or rather leftist, that many, amusingly enough, took as "edgy", revolutionary, rebellious, and avant-garde, as was intended by the manipulators) stuff. And in "stuff" are included laws that affects everyone.
You think this is absurd? Well this may be the line for you, but this isn't, relatively, much more absurd than most other things those say, push and do and I dare to say all of you definitely believed and still believe.

Remember that progressives weren't behind the all-female Ghostbusters nor were we behind the Star Wars sequel trilogy. Progressives weren't the ones complaining that the Trade Federation looked like Asians or that Gungans appeared Jamaican and we also didn't complain that the Imperials looked like white people from the UK.
The people behind those "scandals" were SJWs who I like to refer to as "Fascists with an unorthodox agenda." because their values (seem to) align more with progressives while their methods align more with fascists (which is why . SJWs just come across as a bunch of malcontents who will complain about anything. Progressives love comedy while SJWs are always looking for a way to attack it. We understand when something isn't supposed to be taken seriously but SJWs take EVERYTHING seriously.
They want total control to push their values on others, something that no real progressive wants. We want the world to improve in a more holistic manner, with people seeing the light instead of being thrust under it. After all, it's more valuable when a person learns something for real than to force 100 people to superficially accept something that they don't really agree with. One is progress, the other is not.
You know, the people that complained about the Amazon logo, "looking like Hitler", aren't right, left, or even SJWs. They're a**holes and imbeciles, thinking up pure bullsh!t, so they can imagine themselves "influencers", as well as all of the previously mentioned categories.Hi.
I wish you were right.
There are many reasons why I don't think you are. Too many to effectively list here.
Now, if you were, if you are, at least I wan't to see more of you actually denouncing the SJW's craziness. If that happens then surely the effect will be the same as when the real left liberals of 2015 were attacked as far right, fascist, etc, etc and are still considered the same by all in the left of today.
I'm not seeing it either. But then again I'm not someone who goes looking for things to special-snowflake about.I absolutely don't see Hitler there.
