This is so true. And I think "fuck the corporations" is as much a post hoc rationalisation (like people who steal from cvs wouldn't also steal from a bodega?).
As well as the dehumanisation of "acceptable" targets (which is all of social media, with it's tropes of designated villains who can be memed and threatened), it's just the corrosiveness of the thefts to the community. Everyone who witnesses them feel a bit less safe shopping there, feels a bit more like the law is failing.

I think the ethos that brings you the feelings you catalogue are close relatives to the ethos that brings you unsafe NYC (and other places).
