Closed my Amazon (UK) account the other day. Never been happier not to give them money.

I closed mine a while ago specifically because of the anti-union behavior. It's not acceptable and Amazon should meet its end as a corporate entity as a consequence.

Oh, wait.. you can’t actually do that.

"You criticize society, yet you participate in it."

You sounds like those chinese when I visited china.

They said, no to american food, stomping on KFC. Recording with iPhones.

Same thing here, Closing an Amazon account, sharing it on HN running on AWS.

Yet you also participate in society, curious

focus on my comment, not whataboutism.

It’s a well known meme, look it up. You can be against something yet also be forced to participate in some aspect of that very same thing.

One example would be me complaining about capitalism and its natural end state while you can, rightly, say “yet you keep buying things”.

stagnant water rots. that's what happened there.

I don't need to know stupid thousands of memes to participate.

While the phrasing I used derived from a well-known image in modern culture, good enough fundamental literacy skills could likely help you deduce the intent of my reply

HN doesn't run on AWS.

To be fair, Y Combinator is partly responsible for some companies that are almost as bad as Amazon is toward their workers, so yipinwong's point kind of hits anyway.
