Ha, good one. Which one of the two major dystopian police states are you referring to? "feel sour" - is that a chinese phrase? sounds familiar. You can interpret my comment negatively if you choose. My comment is no worse than yours: "it's a reality".
The US is not a police state. Are you some CCP anti-Westerner or something?

Ha wrong again. Is English your second language?

Tht's insane. Is that rule in the contract, or is it something that's imposed after employees are hired? (Or is it like, "you agree to adhere to all Amazon internal policies"? Is that even legal to begin with?) I don't understand how they can enforce something like that without it being an explicit agreement in the contract. Is it the case that they are explicit clauses, but people don't negotiate them out?
It's not in the contract, and not mentioned until after you start. It (and IP protections in general) are one of the biggest reasons I want tech unions to succeed.
I mean mechanically, how do they get away with it? What legal defense do they use?

When modern Americans and Europeans rail against "diversity" as being the cause of their woes, it's almost certainly based on what boils down to some flavor of the "white genocide" conspiracy theory.
When corporations push diversity as a terminal value it's almost always to suppress labor costs. It's very easy to win arguments if you just assume everyone who disagrees with you is a racist.

What are you on about? Pay, benefits, and safety are core workplace concerns. There's no roping-in going on: Amazon fired them once they began bringing up labor issues.
There's a discussion elsewhere in this thread about how they were engaged primarily in climate change related activism.
