Seriously, Fuck Black Friday. Fuck the weeks before raising prices. Fuck the pretend 75% off of a piece of shit item that costs 5 bucks to make. Fuck making that item and marking it up 500%. Fuck not paying the person making that item a living wage. Fuck making a trinket that leverages a desperate person’s full day of labour away from their families.

There is no Thanks I’m giving here…And specifically a big fucking middle finger to the Amazon that takes lives and makes this world a shittier place.

Save the real Amazon by killing off the namesake corporation.

Fuck you Bezos, I hope your yacht fucking sinks while you and your plastic wife are aboard having botched elective surgeries.

    Relevant comment I left on a similar post:

    It’s even worse in Australia. A long while back we had a really bad bushfire that resulted in something like 70 people dying called black Friday. More recently we had a bushfire that resulted in over 150 people dying and 400 injured called black Saturday

    It’s honestly insulting to see these corporations come in and have these black Friday sales, showing that they don’t care or respect for the history of Australia or its people, all while they flaunt the masquerade of “It’s for you!!!”

      While it’s nothing like the same degree, as nobody was hurt, we already had black Friday in the UK too. It’s the last Friday before Christmas, when the factories would close for the holidays and the workers would typically hit the pubs to celebrate.

      Now we’ve got black Friday, black Friday season, and even black week being advertised to us, all based on an American holiday in November 🤷🏻‍♂️
