The headline talks about protest treatment of warehouse workers but the actual article talks also about other things like climate criss. I'm a bit surprised since Bezos' annual letter that was published yesterday was heavily focused on these things.

These types of activists try to tie all these issues together using a lot of mental gymnastics, to try and build a coalition or to leverage the motivation behind one cause (like climate) to support another cause (like unionization). It's illogical, but it is a strategy commonly used because it is effective, even if disingenuous.

I disagree that it works. Occupy Wall Street and Black Lives Matter are two movements that lost most of their power and presence due to muddling their core message.
