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:
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.

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.
I wasn’t actually sure when i wrote it (it just sounded “truthy”), but I just checked and found this:
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.
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.
One would need to be way out there deep into White Supremacist/Nazi territory to think “Jews” is the answer to that “riddle”.
Whilst the Far-Right is in resurgence in the West, they’re way more likely to be rabidly anti-Immigrant and Islamophobic than they are rabidly anti-Semitic, so I would be massively surprised that here in Lemmy there were more than a handful (if any at all) of people who read that and thought that was actually the answer (and no, thinking it might be misinterpreted as such isn’t the same as actually thinking that’s actually the answer)
