but it left that out, so you didn't read between the lines

2019-08-24 19:54:05 UTC  

so you're out of the loop, basically

2019-08-24 19:54:23 UTC  

like you don't know what colour the sky is unless you look up to remind yourself

2019-08-24 19:54:30 UTC  

that's literally the levels of discordia we're in

2019-08-24 19:55:33 UTC  

"Likewise, because "socialism" allegedly hates people doing well, a card lets you confiscate wealth from someone with some sort of vote. But then, rather than actually redistributing that wealth to those less well off, the wealth is simply destroyed and removed from the game. 15/"

2019-08-24 19:55:45 UTC  

if you give people the ability to redistribute wealth, they will do so democratically

2019-08-24 19:55:48 UTC  

that's democratic socialism

2019-08-24 19:55:53 UTC  

do you even understand your own ideology

2019-08-24 19:56:08 UTC  

Holy diatribe Batman

2019-08-24 19:56:13 UTC  

You need a blog bro

2019-08-24 19:56:14 UTC

2019-08-24 19:56:25 UTC  

Ikr

2019-08-24 19:56:29 UTC  

Ever thought about writing on Steem? At least you'd get paid for it

2019-08-24 19:56:36 UTC

2019-08-24 19:56:39 UTC

2019-08-24 19:56:59 UTC  

Alt tech platform that pays you in crypto for the number of views you get

2019-08-24 19:57:05 UTC

2019-08-24 19:58:04 UTC

2019-08-24 19:58:12 UTC

2019-08-24 19:58:49 UTC

"Voting is also mocked. Maybe because voting creates market uncertainty for big banks and monopoly capitalists from whose perspective this game was apparently designed? Voting is portrayed as serving mainly to "shake things up" and something socialists are "constantly" doing. 16/"

2019-08-24 19:59:47 UTC  

yes, because it's called MONOPOLY which not at all points at how socialism is just another monopoly. Oh wait, sorry that'd discredit your narrative that capitalism is all about monopolies.

2019-08-24 20:00:34 UTC  

and shaking things up is what's done to undermine the credible democratic system

2019-08-24 20:01:06 UTC  

or if the socialists are in power, to continue the democratic farce, if there's a shift in internal leadership? I don't think you're aware that china exists as a country.

2019-08-24 20:01:26 UTC  

it's how Xi Xinping got into power, but nevermind that, china doesn't exist!

2019-08-24 20:02:01 UTC  

and the first thing Xi did do was to execute or jail all of the yes men of the Guy before him

2019-08-24 20:02:45 UTC  

"Of course the great irony here is that that the game we now know as "Monopoly" originally started out as "The Landlord's Game," invented by Georgist feminist comedian Lizzie Magie to satirize capitalist rent-seeking... 17/"

2019-08-24 20:03:11 UTC  

so that's the deep lore! You've cracked the deep lore! Sins of the father, sins of the son. Like, it's all somehow connected, so it can never change from its point of origin.

2019-08-24 20:03:21 UTC  

It's not like ideas evolve either.

2019-08-24 20:03:33 UTC  

monopoly was created in the 1930s

2019-08-24 20:03:45 UTC  

but things haven't changed since then

2019-08-24 20:03:50 UTC  

no wonder you think socialism is new when it's really 200 years old

2019-08-24 20:04:34 UTC  

"But then the game was stolen by a male capitalist, made even more brutally and unironically captitalist, and sold to Parker Brothers, who later abused the legal system to get around copyright laws in a classic case of...capitalist rent-seeking. 18/"

2019-08-24 20:04:37 UTC  

was lisning to some old comedians from the 1970is, and 90% of the shit he was saying was still relevant, just with new names

2019-08-24 20:04:43 UTC  

oh shit, the guy was pushing capitalist ideology without actually convincing anyone at all... it's not like he was just in it for profit, which as you believe, is political! Somehow anyway. Profit is political, even though it's merely addictive at worse. Wait, is money the root of all evil? You should become christian, but you'd hate that. Keep calm, and go back to the marxist bible.

2019-08-24 20:05:08 UTC  

@Nordhand because I think things have stagnated since the 70s, we're going through a historical loop of repetition

2019-08-24 20:05:12 UTC  

cultural repetition too
