Yep—banned from posting any reviews, even on items I purchased. And not just political books—they nuked all my film reviews too, even the innocuous ones. Apparently, once you're flagged as a wrong-thinker, your garlic press and Criterion Collection opinions become dangerous content. As for being Ava Bottington’s assistant… I’d rather be exiled to a used VHS warehouse. But I appreciate the promotion!
Limited time offers to limit our thinking to simple obeying. Simple.
The funny thing was when Amazon was voting on unionizing, they would not allow machines; corporate ID was required, and they triple-checked the chain of custody of the ballots. Lol. Seriously. Check it out.
Exactly—when their power was on the line, suddenly ballot integrity mattered. No drop boxes, no Zuckerboxes, no machines—just IDs, tight custody, and old-fashioned vigilance. It's almost like they do know how to secure a vote... when it serves their interests. Appreciate the reminder—irony levels off the chart.
Ha! “A.C. Common Nazi” — poetic algorithmic justice. Fitting for a company that auto-bans dissidents, deletes history, and leaves you with no address but the void. At this point, it’s less a bookstore and more a Ministry of Reviews Approved for Distribution.
Justice indeed. I do not buy from the company. Jeffrey Preston Bezos, his full name, has longest single word anagram 'freebooters', essentially then 'pirates'. Tells us as it it is.
Appreciate it, Bill—but let’s be real: The Babylon Bee has a stronger moral compass than Amazon at this point. The Bee might mock you, but Amazon erases you—no punchline, no appeal. One’s satire, the other’s just dystopia in a smiley box.
Yes, an "A to Z" smiley box, Sodlooker. And, I was 1/2 way through reading your piece, when I thought, "Wait, is this for real?"...."Did he cross-post this from the Amazon website?" I feel your pain. A comment of "All illegal immigrants are criminals", for example, gets me rejected on Yahoo!.... To me, that just makes OUR WORK HERE all the more valuable....KUTGW!
Appreciate that, Bill—yeah, the satire/reality line gets blurrier by the day. When people start asking, “Wait, did this actually come from Amazon?” you know we’ve crossed into peak dystopia. And you're right: if stating basic facts gets you flagged, it means truth-telling has become subversive. That’s exactly why we have to keep at it. KUTGW right back at you.
So you're saying you've been banned from the shopping site? I'm trying to understand ......
Were you posting reviews on items you purchased, or what?
Can you buy things in there anymore??
Looks to me like you've outwitted them, if that's any consolation. Maybe you could be on assistant to Ava Bottington, not that you would want to. Lol

Oh dearrrrr! That's awful. It's crazy, scary, and tyranical!!
You deserve the promotion if only it were more fitting circumstances. I'm sure the compensation would be amazing!
That was well thought out. Thank you!
And about the exile .... 🤣🤣🤣😂

I remember that! How these hypocrites guard their power when it counts, unlike for the peons. :/

Not surprising it does what it does.

Amazon should just offer you a job. Better yet, the Babylon Bee!....
Same thing, isn't it?....
Seriously, that's TOO funny!
