Imagine playing Monopoly, but all the properties are already owned by another player and the rent starts at $900.

Imagine playing Monopoly and not understanding its about the dangerous of unrestricted capitalisms and how monopolies are bad

That's what happens when you have too much [money on] Free Parking!

(The above statement is about both the dangers of Monopoly "house rules" that obscure the fact that unfairness is the point, and the consequences of car-centric urban design.)

Imagine posting a stolen meme about a stolen board game about the value is stealing someone else's labor.

Imagine playing Monopoly with friends and no one is ever buying. You can visit all these nice cities, you can use four amazing train stations free of charge and after each round trip you collect your universal basic income. There's just that one weird thing that sometimes you randomly end up in jail for three days. But I guess in such a world, also the guards would be cool dudes(ses).

Imagine playing Monopoly with friends and treating it like a fun vacation instead of a cut throat friendship ruining game.

There's this movie called Believe that is unironic Ebeneezer Scrooge apologism, and I think that's where the rich-asshole protagonist references "There's a difference between guys who sign the front of the check, and guys who sign the back." It might be the only time in history that's been treated like it favors the guys who sign the front.

This feels similar.

You've never heard of Ayn Rand?

I'm sadly quite familiar with the general sentiment, but even that rambling trainfucker didn't steal the quote outright.

“There’s a difference between guys who sign the front of the check, and guys who sign the back.”

I hate this. It feels very similar

I saw this today. Didn't want to read any of the comments.

You've become the very best thing you swore to destroy!
