These same corporations encourage focusing on the differences between people: race, gender, creed, etc., rather than celebrating unity and working for a common productivity. Of course, someone might agree that #2 is bad, that corporations shouldn’t be able to superficially speak the language of social justice; instead they ought to actually do better. But the author’s basic starting point (informed apparently only by theoretical writing of people like Hayek and von Mises, and not actual histories of capitalism) is that the capitalism is great – apparently “In the real world, very few American companies are able to harm people over the long run while still making sustainable profits - because the public holds them accountable over time, through both market mechanisms and democratic accountability” and “most corporate actions that are known to harm people are either illegal or likely to hurt the company’s reputation - and profits - in the long run.” Climate change activism is lumped in with the stupid “woke” crowd, which explains how he’s able to write such doozies.

The instinct is that something’s going on with you, the rebuker, that you can’t see in yourself; all this hectoring and exhorting is compensatory in some way.
