Edited to add - To be clear for anyone, it’s Oligarchs/Billionaires paired with rampant, unfettered corporate greed. (at least in my view)

Someone reminded me that I was using dogwhistle parlance in my use of they which may have suggested otherwise.

Here are some visual aids to accompany my clarification:

    Right, but saying “three guesses” implies that the answer is something that’s slightly hidden. “Capitalists” doesn’t really make sense because it’s essentially going “three guesses who it is that’s doing all this capitalism… that’s right, capitalists!”. If OP didn’t intend it as an antisemitic dogwhistle then it’s an odd title for other reasons.

    (edit: I just had a glance through their post history and I think it’s probably not supposed to be a dogwhistle, but just unfortunately titled; I think maybe OP just assumed everyone reading it were already on the same page on whatever specific thing they themselves blame capitalism on?)

      Or that it’s very obvious and they’re being sarcastic.

        That’s what I meant by “slightly”. It’s an expression that gets used when we all know the answer but it’s one that’s slightly under the surface.
