Forcing bakers to do stuff doesn’t challenge the elites. This can be used as a distraction. Basically they can do stuff like “be as gay as you want, just give us all your money and control of the internet and everything else” and keep doing that by exaggerating issues like a minority of bakers who don’t want to bake gay wedding cakes.

Basically if some hedge fund owners can get people elected that they control who will bail out their hedge fund by going “but muh a few bakers won’t bake gay wedding cakes” then that’s what they’ll do. They don’t care how gay anyone is, they just want the money.

There’s plenty of other stuff they don’t care about either but they’ll exploit it for reasons that have nothing to do with whatever the social conflict is. And they’ll even try to dupe people to make people think there’s a big social conflict when there isn’t one.
