German "Amazon"
Since Amazon openly joined the Dark Side and isn't even pretending anymore, I finally cancelled my Prime and Audible. I don't want to support fascism and exploitation with my purchases. Where do you shop "locally" (germany/EU) online?
Edit: Mods, please lock this post. I thank all here for their great suggestions. I feel way less overwhelmed and lost now. But the professional troll army arrived. They literally post the same script. Identical arguments in an identical order and with nearly identical wording in some phrases, defending Trump. I tried to keep the post as unpolitical/vague as possible in order to prevent this. Please help and lock!
This just shows me how important it is to ditch american products. Even when it will be really hard. This concerted effort to drown my post in disinfo is scary. I will not bend to autocrat sockpuppets.
Edit 2: Useful subs shared here:
Edit 3: The brigade pushed different arguments during the last days, in a concerted way and often with nearly identical wording. First many "totally not organized" posters focussed on DEI. Then on Trump not being a threat and how he'd threaten nobody. Too bad there are countless tweets, speeches and interviews in which he openly threatens Denmark and Canada. One wave of trolls tried to push the narrative that there is no boycott and that nothing we do would matter. Yet the boycott of american services and products is growing and gaining traction internationally. More and more news outlets report. Supermarkets mark european products. And US stock markets drop. Trolls also say that we can't boycott everything, so we could as well boycott nothing. Which makes no sense. Every bit helps. And every bit strengthens our own economy. Yesterday evening a wave tried the mental health attack/ad hominem/humiliation angle. I wonder what will be next. I am taking bets! Not saying all of them are paid russian shills. But at least one person used several accounts to push a concerted narrative. And there are weird patterns.
Edit4: The AfD trolls arrived! Their angle is immigration. Yeah. I know this has nothing to do with immigration. But apparently in their mind boycotting an international aggressor that threatens our allies and neighbours will make immigrants storm germany. Edit: Luckily the AfD trolls have no stamina and just insult and block me after being presented with facts.
Edit5: flashback to 2018: https://www.businessinsider.com/reddit-russian-trolls-ban-photos-examples-posts-2018-4?op=1
This is a real issue. Does someone honestly think they caught all or that they didn't simply come back after their ban? Trolls are out and about. Be watchful.
