This is shoehorning of politics where it doesn't fit. I know that's popular on Reddit but it rarely leads to interesting conversations, just low quality generalizations/flamewars all based on a weak analogy.

This article is about a video games, the story doesn't mention Amazon or even her workplace specifically, the quote was a lighthearted joke (jokes use exaggeration to be funny, ie. "punching a wall" at an office), etc.



I agree in the sense that I wouldn't have made the association myself either - I also think that the quote was almost definitely just humour. I'm just explaining what I thought the connection they'd made was.
