1) I had a deeply disturbing conversation with an Amazon 3rd party seller the other day about what this company is really doing.

I rail on the social score, but I'm worried it's already here in ways we don't know about yet.

2) Peruse the Amazon seller forums and you will find a consistent wave of sellers who complain their sales are throttled, and it's intentional.

Now I'm sure some of these people are dumbs and sell dumbs products. But I see enough of a pattern here...

3) ...considering what a subversive Bezos is, to consider this ugly behemoth, a product of the C_A, is using Palantir data and everything else we know about, to control how much money sellers make, and keep everyone at seller levels equivalent to their "social score."

4) Is the social score here, already active and functional, and things like this are just canaries in the coal mine showing us what is already happening?

Amazon is massive uncontrollable monopoly.

It seems obvious their using their power in the same way Pinterest, Twitter, ...

5) ... all the others are.

I mean, wouldn't that be consistent? The owner of the subversion central WaPo isn't using his destructive company to destroy lives of sellers that his politics doesn't agree with?

I'm afraid buying on Amazon is basically giving communists free money.

6) Big tech is subversion.

Amazon didn't become what it is without the help of the C_A. It was created to control everything we buy.

Their algorithms do or will give sales to "social score" compliant sellers, and will direct buyers to whatever products those in control wish.

7) Brave new world this one click checkout stuff. Careful who you follow, but also where you buy things. A dollar to Amazon is a dollar to the C_A.
