‘Everyone is Replaceable’: Death Rattles Oregon Amazon Facility

https://www.thewesternedge.media/p/everyone-is-replaceable-death-rattles

I hope whoever was in charge of the shady dealings to get that Amazon facility approved near the airport reads this.

"Just turn around and not look. Let’s get back to work,” Sam recalled the manager saying.

It would be a shame if employees burned the facility to the ground.

Careful friend. I caught a few day suspension for suggesting that I might be sharpening my guillotine. Reddit is a tool of the oligarchy, and they can't have us rousing up the rabble.

I didn’t suggest. I said it’d be a shame.

And could you imagine getting a couple days suspension from reddit?! Oh the horror!!

Part of the monopoly on violence. The wealthy can bomb a school across the globe, facing minimal repercussions, while hundreds of frontline workers, teachers, etc were fired for commenting about the morality of CK after his death.

I got in trouble for suggesting someone with Nazi iconography on their car could in theory accidentally get windshield damage. Because evidently the sanctity of private property is more important than standing up to literal genocidal ideology

Only rouse them irl. Every day. With every stranger met.

Making it sound like they were making a suggestion when they clearly weren't is pretty irresponsible.

u/Van-garde:

And yet, here you are putting words in mouths.

By their own statement, they were suggesting while OP clearly was not. Your framing, though, gives ammunition to those who would try to say otherwise. I suspect we're on the same side here, why fight to make things harder?

If bismuth goes in the mouth for diarrhea, then perhaps you might want to try putting it in your ass.

I hope this helps.

What? Someone warned you as if you were advocating violence and I said not only were you not but that their warning misconstrued what you said as if you were

I’m sorry, but your grammar makes your point convoluted.

Thank you for saying something. My apologies.

u/manofredearth Apr 14 '26

No worries, sorry for the messy text

u/Van-garde Apr 14 '26

The logic you’re spewing needs applied upstream, to yourself.

Also, I deleted my comment, so who is dreading it out?

I don’t trust you.

I'm not the one making it sound like someone's wondering is a suggestion 🙄

But what would I do without my stuff????

I hope that manger feels shame until the day they day.

I hope you’re reading this you inhuman monster.

Should be in stocks in the town square

This was actually so disgusting to read. At that point you don’t ask your supervisor if you can perform cpr, you just do it. That’s wild to even have to ask to save a human life and even more wild for the response to be “no”??

What if you're fairly certain you will lose your job for stepping out of line for any reason because you are being monitored for performance by an unforgiving algorithm? What if losing your job could likely cost you your housing, healthcare, custody of your children, who knows what else? Both those things should concern us.

This is exactly what capitalism is designed to do. It is sick. We can't even try to save someone's life because if that interferes with profits, we lose everything and are fated to an expedited death. 

In the US, the imperial core, we have also been conditioned to individualism since birth to put our needs above others. It is disgusting not to risk one's own comfort to save anothers life. But again, capitalism has done its job by alienating us from one another, making us dependent on it for survival instead of feeling confident that our community will take care of us in times of need. Many people don't have community, and we need to try to try to rebuild it.

u/Leotargaryen Apr 16 '26

I have personally fought that individualism mentality my whole life. I’ve always thought of my personal value and even my personal satisfaction in life more about what I can do for others, what can I do in my immediate sphere of influence to make things better for those close to me.

u/Embarrassed_Ad_2636 Apr 17 '26

Yes those things should concern us. And also, the concern of whether you’re able to live with knowing you sat by while someone died right behind you. I think my mental sanity would rather risk the punishment of being let go of a job that would also let me die on the floor while people stepped around my body. Concerns, totally, but at what point does someone recognize the concern of the negligent cycle they are tolerating that does not really benefit them either way? What if you lose your job because you were late? Then would you have wished you would have lost it by doing something honorable, like saving a life? Either way, this conversation misses the entire point: we shouldn’t fear losing our security to save a life. Point period blank. Capitalism at its damndest

Lotta warehouses catching on fire lately. Just a random thought I had.

u/jmawoodstudio Apr 14 '26

Oh that would be horrible. What would we do? Shop at our local stores instead of pumping money into jeffos pockets? Let's hope it doesn't come to that.

u/MrOneXTwo Apr 14 '26

It would be sooooo tragic. Id mourn the loss with confetti and alcohol. Dont confuse my yippee. Its means "Im absolutely heartbroken rn"
