This person is soooo close to figuring out that the problem is capitalism. This is capitalism working as intended.
As we all know, you can't make a critique of capitalism without including "capitalism bad" in your critique.
Similar to Poe's Law I guess... I couldn't tell if the post was intentionally making a point, or if the person was just making observations. Given the average level of intelligence that I usually see on the internet, I assumed the latter.
Capitalism bad
No sarcasm, that's actually exactly what we should be doing. So many people, even people who otherwise call themselves conservatives, have opinions that are so close to realizing that everything sucking is the intentional result of concentrating wealth in the hands of a few, and yet when it comes time to vote they believe the bullshit spewed by the owner class and vote against their own interests. It gets tiring pointing out that capitalism is the root of just about every evil that exists today, but if the paid shills don't get tired of blaming everything on minorities and maliciously mislabeling everything, we shouldn't get tired either.
