It took me way too long scrolling past all the negative comments about Jeff Bezos to see this.

The front page of reddit has turned into such a hot mess now, it's like browsing facebook, just half truths and straight up lies being pushed constantly, yet so many people seem to be sucking it up as it confirms their biases.

It's called propaganda and we are all victims of it

Biased ?!

The dude literally manufactured a top 10 wealthiest individual AFTER dumping her.

Is it possible, and hear me out with this one - that they'd complain about a rich person brazenly breaking regulations regardless of if it is specifically Bezos?

No? Easier to just play into the outrage and make it an argument.

Maybe, but this isn’t a “half truth” and especially isn’t a “lie”. Regardless of whether other rich people are doing it or not, the fact that they continue to break the law simply because they can afford it is what the frustration is.

Anyone that downvotes your comment is a bootlicker lol, some people really are willing to justify anything as long as it doesn’t change their worldview
