“Essentially” is the load-bearing weasel word here that allows this story to blame Amazon for their competitors choosing to offer the same goods at higher prices.

You’re listing all of the reasons it’s not a monopoly - you can go almost anywhere else and buy the same good.

Therefore, I think Amazon has a literal monopoly in the tech industry right now, you're literally forced to buy from them

You literally weren’t and literally aren’t, so they’re literally not.

They have so aggressively and dominantly taken over the supply chain market that no other tech company can currently compete with them in any aspect at all.

If nobody was in competition with them, they’d be raising their prices.

I’m not saying we need to respect it, but the mail shouldn’t censor materials based on viewpoint.

Not censoring isn’t “respect”, it’s the minimum a free people should expect from their government.

It’s good actually that the mail doesn’t censor based on viewpoint

Yup, and it seems like more and more that it wasn't explosives, but regular pagers tampered with to explode using parts they already contain as to not arouse suspicion.

Totally false.

Hamas doesn’t use pagers, they use tunnels

When certain groups of people actually dorepeatedly act in certain ways more often than others do

But they don’t, and in any case that’s not “psychology.” That’s just you being a bigoted fucking asshole.

when its so commonplace to them that other people have to point out that they are behaving that way because they do not even realize it

Isn’t that literally the described experience of being autistic? Having your behavior pointed out to you and you didn’t even realize you were doing it? Constantly?

How about the people that actually do that regularly?

Is that something you think is true about neurotypical people? That we’re constantly “assaulting and murdering”?

How is this not you just being a giant gaping asshole? You can wrap it up in therapy terms if you want but surely you have to see how offensive this is?

Allistic people often do act like low tier psychopaths: manipulative, selfish, overconfident and hypocritical.

All human beings have the capability to act this way, including autistic humans. When you say “well, but these other guys are just like that” that’s when you should suspect you’re being an asshole.

Corned beef hash? Colcannon? Literal Irish potatoes?

I bid that non autistic people be named and categorized in a way that highlights their subtly hostile, backstabbing, cruel nature

Are you sure you’re “autistic”? Are you sure you’re not just a fucking asshole?

You needed to invite a lot more people and at least a few people who didn’t like wrestling.
