They stack the deck, hoard the board, and call it “progress.” We’re here to flip the table—because our planet isn’t a game, and we refuse to let a few players bankrupt our future.

Welp:(see post this is in reply to…)
@greenpeace That's the way the game was designed to end.
@greenpeace Flip the board.
@greenpeace - Absolutely.
@greenpeace All too apt, after Elizabeth Magie tried to warn us with 'The Landlord's Game,' before her idea was ripped off and twisted by a capitalist for 'Monopoly.'
@greenpeace Feels more like when your friend's dickish younger brother is stealing from the bank and smirking at you all the time.
@greenpeace In my family we had a big pile of candies in the center of the board. You got several candies each time you passed go. Well, we kids did. I'm guessing that the adults-only version of the game was different. So no rage-quitting.
@greenpeace they are not super! Please use overrich instead.
@greenpeace I hate that part.
@evan @greenpeace Eh ... you still can sell him your house.
@greenpeace From Wikipedia: "American anti-monopolist Lizzie Magie created a game called The Landlord's Game that she hoped would explain the single-tax theory of Henry George as laid out in his book Progress and Poverty. [..] It was intended as an educational tool to illustrate the negative aspects of concentrating land in private monopolies. "
