If you look at the objects of much of the social protest nowadays, even on the left, you will find that the best predictor of being such an object is not what the person or organization actually does or thinks - but whether it projects an image that is effeminate, wimpy, intellectual and urbane, cf. yuppies, Starbucks, liberal elites, gentrification, Whole Foods, Borders, Bill Gates, etc.

By golly you're right! The fact that the organizations/individuals you mention exploit workers around the world has *nothing to do with it at all*.
Naïve functionalism for $200 please, Alex.
