A lot of you are furious at Amazon for joining the unconscionable censorship of Parler, which btw is still relatively small and all innocuous, other than, you know, allowing Trump a platform (Because as invaders, the left can’t let the president of the US address the nation, of course.)
[...]
However, since last night, this has TRULY become an emergency, not because of what Amazon will do or won’t do to ebook fiction (more on that) but because a core of my readers will now refuse to buy from Amazon under any circumstances, which means that I’m going to lose a lot of my income (and Amazon won’t give a flying fig.

I've just logged on to FSTDT after logging off from a certain account as I've just ordered some items from Amazon.
Sorry Sazza, I can't hear you over the superiority of so many customers in having just a little part in Amazon Web Services denying you Trumpists more than just your 'Freeze Peach' via kicking Parler off their servers.
In pulling the plug on your pathetic Parlous platform, Jeff Bezos has proved that he chose wisely: as I have too. And I'm glad they did.
You chose... poorly .
Can someone explain why this whole “no more Parlor on our platform” thing is that big of a deal?
I don’t know about iOS users, but it seems no one is stopping Android users from just distributing Parlor APK files in other ways…
You StormTrumpers are just jealous that the head of Amazon is still leagues richer, more successful, and a better person than your precious Emperor Trump is (not that the latter is much of an achievement). And that, despite being richer, he still has some standards and respect for the law. So that throws your fascist “might makes right” ideology right out of the top window of Trump’s phallic tower.

Ah yes, all glory to the ASGET, or “Ass-Get,” as the kids will call it in the future, when they read the chapter in the history books leading up to Belgium becoming the sole world power.
In the ASGET, there is only the Trump party, and you may vote for whichever party you want, so long as it's the Trump party. Then you may petition your supervisor at the sadness and smog factory for a day off and travel to glorious Trumpsylvania (formerly Mar-A-Lago) to pay respects to Glorious Leader Trump, as he lays in State like a Tang-dyed Mao Tse-Tung. Portraits of Glorious Leader will no doubt line the streets as Kim-Jong Eric gives a speech from the Imperial Palace informing the unwashed throngs that universal attendance to his immortal and hamberder-inventing father's memorial military parade is mandatory, and all dissenters will be forced to spend time in Rudy's presence for either one minute, or until suicide. (Spoiler alert, nobody ever lasts a full minute.)
And during all of this, they will be, without the slightest twinge of irony, denouncing the eeeeeevil Commies over in the actual USA, who are just now celebrating the second term of President Stallone and the completion of Mars City 001.
How, exactly, is Trump prevented from addressing the nation? The White House has a press briefing room, and Trump can even give speeches from the oval office practically at a moment's notice.
I’m sure that greedy little gargoyle Jeff Bezos is positively broken up over the empty threats from a bunch of brain-dead imbeciles who are simply throwing a tantrum because their newest toy was taken away.
I’m still waiting for a few things from Amazon to be delivered. Amazon is just supplying a demand, which is good business, which is the backbone of what’s left of the US economy. Why do you hate America?
We just opened a load of those Wensleydale snowmen that get sold every Christmas. One of them was mouldy so we chucked it in the bin.
Amazon is doing exactly the same thing. You don't keep hold of bad produce if you want a quality product. Most people don't want to truck with fascists because we all know what happened the last time.
I laugh at these idiots who are screaming “First Amendment violations” over this, after years of insisting that private businesses should be allowed to do or not do business with whoever they want… What, you didn’t think that if you insisted a business could choose not to sell to LGBT+ members, that some businesses might decide they didn’t want to sell to far-right wackos?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
