I know this isn't what you intended, but you gotta be careful on the Internet saying 'guess who 'they' are', cos a lotta places on the Internet ask this and the answer is supposed to be 'jews'
Yes, that's a great point that I hadn't considered.
To be clear for anyone, it's Oligarchs/Billionaires paired with rampant, unfettered corporate greed. (at least in my view)
I thought you just meant capitalists in general, TBH.
I thought it was the lizard people?
What did you think that was a euphemism for?
The illuminati?
Is this seriously a euphemism for Jewish people? I thought it was just a funny conspiracy theory.
It's both, depending on the specific conspiracy theorists.
Just like not all "infowarriors" know that "the globalists" means "the Jews" and "populist" means "rich, white, racist" in the code of Alex Jones.
And what does "frogs" and "gay" mean in the code of Alex Jones?
Literally "frogs changing gender" but basically it's a pretense for homophobia and "globalist" scaremongering.
I wasn't actually sure when i wrote it (it just sounded "truthy"), but I just checked and found this:
Yeah I can't think what else OP could mean though? All the other answers I can think of are too broad and obvious for "three guesses" to be a thing you'd ask.
3 guesses: Bezos, Musk, Zuckerberg
Honestly, I thought OP meant billionaires/capitalists. Jews did not even cross my mind.
Edit: clarity
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.
But it doesn't really work for capitalists because these problems don't exist in a lot of capitalist nations and it kind of exists for supposed noncapitalist nations as well where if you don't follow the rules and don't work then they take your commodities away.
TBH tho I doubt that sort of reasoning would stand in the way of anti-capitalists.
