It seems rather authoritarian to totally shred the relationship over mild dissent. How weak and pathetic is the Amazon leadership that they cannot tolerate criticism?

I don't think Amazon tries very hard to silence criticism. If you need proof, there are plenty of WaPo op-eds shitting on Amazon.

I don't think it is absurd not to want to employ someone who is an activist against you.

I don't think it is absurd to exile someone critical of the country's administration.
