Amazon.com Inc.

If you boycott one company, make it Amazon. It is extractive, abusive, and complicit in war crimes. Simply put, it’s the worst of capitalism.

Amazon perfected the model: exploit workers, surveil users, burn resources, crush competition, collect subsidies, and hand tools to police and militaries. Warehouse staff are tracked like machines, drivers carry all the risk, and small businesses get swallowed by the platform. Tax breaks lure cities into deals that leave them gutted.

Amazon Web Services runs much of the internet, including government and military systems. Project Nimbus, a $1.2B contract with Israel, supplies cloud and AI infrastructure for surveillance and occupation. Its chips (Annapurna Labs, Israel), hardware (Lab126), and satellite program (Kuiper) all expand this footprint.

The environmental cost is immense: fleets of planes, vans, and ships pump out emissions for one-click delivery, while packaging and returns generate mountains of waste. Data centers burn staggering amounts of energy as Amazon scales AI systems.

Taxes and politics are treated as weapons. The company extracts subsidies, evades tax, and lobbies against regulation. Retail spending feeds a closed loop: data collection, cloud services, government contracts, and back again into warehouses, servers, and contracts. Consumer money fuels the harm.
