they honestly posted a job, they honestly got backlash, they honestly decided it was a mistake, they honestly refused to answer follow-up questions. What part of that is not honest?

Honestly, I think you simply don't like that they don't agree with you 100% and act as you would have them act, and you should honestly admit that, and honesty would require that you stop accusing them of being other than honest on the basis of what you outlined.

Yeah, (dis)honesty isn't what was noteworthy about this. It's just optically very strange. Like, the fact that they employ people to do this is totally unsurprising to me, but the fact that they're willing to say so in public job posting seems really tone-deaf. Like, what hiring manager thought this was a good idea, and how oblivious must they be of how Amazon is publicly perceived?
