Stop strawmanning it. You’re arguing in bad faith when you use an example nobody is talking about. Obviously, they mean that small business people are generally (remember that word?) still owner class capitalists, which are not your friend if you’re a wagey.

having trouble keeping up with who we’re supposed to hate Everyone. The bots are going for maximal conflict and strife - spend more time online, find more outrageous reasons to hate more people.

You hit a false dichotomy. “Not your allies” does not automatically mean “class traitors”. They might be neutral.

No. Owning a business (as in, means of production) makes you a different class — bourgeois — not a class traitor. Belonging to a different class naturally changes what benefits you.

It’s not about hating small business owners. It’s about them belonging to the owning class with those class interests. Something like raising the minimum wage can put their interests at odds with many people they share an income bracket with. It would actually be a good thing if they were a class traitor, because that would mean they were siding with us proles.
