    Every single line you quoted is an accurate representation of how capitalism works, independent of whether you think it’s good/evil.

    The only one you get partial credit for is the last quote, because modern capitalists are so divorced from everyday operations that even those things are farmed out to other employees.

    You hold a large amount of responsibility for how your readers/listeners interpret your words. It is neither fair not effective communication to phrase things however you like and then wash your hands of the interpretation.

    Your phrasing used an extremely common manipulation tactic, whether you meant to or not (asking a question with a premise that has not been established, e.g. “when did you start beating your wife?” when nobody has established I’m even married). That’s on you, not the reader, to fix.

    Though I don’t fully believe you’re being genuine here or your very first response when countered would have been “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to offend, what I meant was X”.
