The Queen’s passing has been worldwide news, with even Jeff Bezos sending tweets in support of her detractors.

Amazon founder Jeff Bezos quoted a tweet from Carnegie Mellon professor Uju Anya, who’d written several hours before: “I heard the chief monarch of a thieving raping genocidal empire is finally dying. May her pain be excruciating.”

Bezos, quoting the post, then tweeted: “This is someone supposedly working to make the world better? I don’t think so. Wow.”

This is someone supposedly working to make the world better? I don’t think so. Wow. https://t.co/2zoi6CdFMq

Perhaps some people thought Bezos sticking up for the Queen was a noble act.

However, for many others seeing one of the richest person ever, who flies rockets to space for fun, wade into the argument didn’t go down that well.

Imagine how people will react when it’s your turn.

Remember when your warehouse employees had 10-12 hour work days and weren’t allowed to use the bathroom without being written up— forcing them to pee in bottles? Or when they passed out from extreme heat exhaustion? Or the illegal union busting tactics? Should I go on?

Imagine running a machine responsible for the horrible working conditions and endless union protests of your workers, but a black woman criticizing a monarchy is where you draw a line.

Everybody please be gentle with Jeff Bezos and other oligarchs today. They've all just had a very unpleasant visit from the Ghost of Christmas Yet To Come and have a lot to process about how they're going to be remembered. https://t.co/GvcEg0BAep
