At the risk of having too hot of a take. What Amazon and other corporations are doing is the equivalent of ideological bikeshedding, inflaming different subcultures to fight amongst each other in order to ignore the elephant in the room. Mainly the fact that the elites have too much power. This is a blatant bait for the alt right movement to tear itself to pieces with the leftist movement which incidentally is playing in the corporations hands by suppressing all dissent via cancel culture (that is also sanctioned by corporations, as long as it doesnt touch their bottom line)

I can follow this viewpoint. I think it is probably emergent vs conspiratorial. But there is no question that most businesses would rather deal with microagressions than unionization.
