[PJ Media] In the old days, the left railed against the eeeevils of Big Business, whether it was Upton Sinclair versus the meatpackers, or demonizing the men who built America's network of railroads with the folk Marxist twang of "Robber Barons." But these days, as we've seen in the past few weeks with Starbucks' Howard Schultz and Apple's Tim Cook, American business is almost totally onboard with the left's social agenda. Comcast's MSNBC channel and Viacom's Daily Show and all three of the broadcast network's news programs are effectively daily in-kind contributions to the Democrat Party.
Don't forget 'We take SNAP' Walmart.
But individual small businesses are a lot more random in their thinking, which is why the left hates them, unless they obediently conform to the Gleichschaltung. Millionaire filmmaker Michael Moore, who poses as a big lovable stubbly-faced friend of the working man, gave the game away in 2002:

You know in my town the small businesses that everyone wanted to protect? They were the people that supported all the right-wing groups. They were the Republicans in the town, they were in the Kiwanas, the Chamber of Commerce -- people that kept the town all white. The small hardware salesman, the small clothing store salespersons, Jesse the Barber who signed his name three different times on three different petitions to recall me from the school board. F**k all these small businesses -- f**k 'em all! Bring in the chains. The small businesspeople are the rednecks that run the town and suppress the people. F**k 'em all. That's how I feel.
"These people" are simply not team-players.

#5  The plain, glorious, normal croissant
Is a thing few Mohammedans want.
Where the Bulgar and Turk
And fierce Saracen lurk,
It's the pain chocolat that they vaunt.

#4  For Musselman bakers, beefcakery,
Requires of them multi-layered fakery:
Such pounding and kneading
And breathlessly pleading
They're frosted by thoughts of fey rakery!

#2  Betrayal of Apple and Starbucks will come in due time. Surviving 'students of irony' will see it coming. Others will not, and will likely perish.

#1  Now you're getting the whole GamerGate SJW treatment. First they came for the gamers and you said nothing, then they came for bakers and pizzerias and you said nothing,....
