He tries to frame the upper class wealthy who look down their noses at low-wage earners as “liberals”. Of course it’s the complete opposite as right-wing policies aim to facilitate corporate greed to a maximum. If you are wealthy you vote conservative to protect your wealth.
Then he fails to distinguish between the social detriment of various corporations and fixates on size alone. There is a big difference between corps like Monsanto-Bayer, Nestlé, HP, Amazon… vs. a corp like Starbucks or a b-corp.
When Republicans use the word 'liberal,' they mean the socially liberal, and anyone to the left of them. When socialists use the word, they use it in its original sense, to refer to market liberals, that is, people who think capital should be liberated from all restraint, especially democratic restraint. Republicans and all capitalists trace their ideological lineage from the intellectual heritage of classical liberalism.
There's a small dictionary of words in the English language that have been corrupted by right-wing grifters in the United States. See also 'The Libertarian Party,' 'Anarchism,' and the color red.

I feel like I dont really see the big difference between those? (Like maybe Starbucks is just a really unlucky example, but I dont really have a great image of Starbucks with their union busting practices.)
Atleast for me, a grocery store being organic or unionized or donating 1% of earning does not stop me from like stealing what I need or want.
What of the small business owner? you may ask. I concur that this is a slightly different matter and I would, if truly pressed, prefer not to harm the small business owner nor steal from him, but if truly, truly pressed I would say, “Fuck him, who is the petty bourgeois, for he always turns, in the end, against his fellow man and stretches his ass toward those who feed and tolerate him in their midst until they eat him, too.” When he stands by my side, hungry and cold as well, we will go steal together until there is no unjustified, unearned, immoral, say I, God-fucking-given superior being looking down on us no more.
