Monopoly wasn't invented by the Parker Brothers, nor the man they gave it credit for. In 1904, Monopoly was originally called The Landlord's Game, and was invented by a radical woman. Elizabeth Magie's original game had not one, but two sets of rules to choose from.

Monopoly wasn't invented by the Parker Brothers, nor the man they gave it credit for. In 1904, Monopoly was originally called The Landlord's Game, and was invented by a radical woman. Elizabeth Magie's original game had not one, but two sets of rules to choose from.
One was called "Prosperity", where every player won money anytime another gained a property. And the game was won by everyone playing only when the person with the least doubled their resources. A game of collaboration and social good.
The second set of rules was called "Monopoly", where players succeeded by taking properties and rent from those with less luck rolling the dice. The winner was the person who used their power to eliminate everyone else.
Magie's mission was to teach us how different we feel when playing Prosperity vs Monopoly, hoping that it would one day change national policies.
When the Parker Bros adopted the game, they erased Magie, they erased the "Prosperity" rules and celebrated "Monopoly". This is why very few games of Monopoly end in better friendships! Some even end friendships! What they couldn't erase was Magie's lesson.

I understand your new angle is this “western values/
christian family man” thing but it's such a weird
choice. You are not a family man, you are a serial
adulterer who won't stop fucking lying about your
own children. You are not a christian, as far as I'm
aware you've never stepped foot in a church. You
are not some “bastion for equality/progress”. You
called arabic the “language of the enemy” when I
was 6, have been sued for discrimination multiple
times, and are from Apartheid South Africa.

You are not “saving the planet”, you do not give a
fuck about climate change and you're lying about
multi-planetary civilization as both an excuse, and
because you want to seem like the CEO from Ready
Player One. I would mention the birth rate stuff, but
I am not touching that weird 14-words breeder shit
with a ten foot pole. You single-handedly
disillusioned me with how gullible we are as a
species because somehow people keep believing
you for reasons that continue to evade me.

Hampton Institute
@HamptonThink

The goal for capitalists is to live off
the labor of others. In other words,
while we work our lives away, the
fruits of our labor are funneled to their
bank accounts. While they sit idle.
They preach "work ethic" to us so we
take pride in our exploitation. While
they sit idle.

@Adjective_J

Listen no one is "vilifying" rich people.
They ARE villains. If you run a billion
dollar company, give yourself millions
in dollars and benefits, but pay your
individual workers less than a living
wage and give them shitty insurance,
what are you if not a villain?

I am once again asking you to be angry
that US healthcare ranks 69th in the world
for overall quality but it is BY FAR the most
expensive healthcare in the world.

I think, every year, the richest person in
the world should be sacrificed and their
wealth distributed to the poorest among
us. The rest of the year would be
billionaires scrambling to distribute their
wealth in an attempt to ensure they aren't
the one to pushed out into the ocean next
year.
Is that radical enough for you?

Humans lived in hunter-gatherer
communities for 100,000
generations.

We've lived in settled communities for
only 500 generations.

We've lived under capitalism for less
than 10 generations.

Far from being synonymous w/ human
nature, capitalism is a noxious and
fleeting anomaly

@ItsDanaWhite

You're not only closer to
homelessness than being a
billionaire. You're closer to
homelessness than to buying any
home in many major cities. You're
closer to homelessness than being
able to ever actually retire. When
you see it that way, the crisis is
impossible to ignore.

Right now, the executive class
and the millionaire/billionaire
class knows we are pissed at
them. And they are going to use
every tool at their disposal to
propagandize us back into
thinking other people are our
enemies.

Don't you dare let their message
win.

Stay angry at the right people.

@jasonhickel

The climate crisis reveals that
our civilization has never
really been organized around
science, contrary to the usual
Enlightenment narrative. It is
organized around capital.
Science is embraced when it
serves the interests of
capital, and is often ignored
when it does not.

Gucci & Gumdrops @queend236 Y'all will say "get a job, don't be picky, poverty is a choice". , but then the only jobs that are hiring are Target and Forever 21, then when people say they can't pay their bills y'all start telling them to "get better jobs". . Y'all do CARTWHEELS to justify poverty.

It should anger everyone that there
never seems to be any money for
education, for housing, for mental
health resources, yet there's billions of
dollars to jail people for how they react
to living without basic necessities.

Existential Comics @existentialcoms Imagine thinking food isn't a human right. Like, what the heck did we build civilization for then? Why did we bother industrializing agriculture? So we could make enough food for everyone only to let people starve anyway?
