Assuming you’re sincere, Amazon has destroyed and continues to destroy indie bookstores, nonprofit publishers, and much more, while exploiting workers and making Bezos a billionaire who uses his money to support terrible causes.

"Conservatives have lost years of ground by being obsessed with debating “facts and logic” rather than doing the grubby work of entering institutions and remaking them from inside. The revolutionaries are a generation ahead in this regard."
