Fun fact! Monopoly was created to elicit this exact response! You’re supposed to hate this and get angry at the inequity; that’s the whole point.

I grew up I a predominantly white neighborhood in a very segregated city, and I heard people harping on riots and unrest in the blacker areas and how that was bad for their neighborhoods. It wasn’t until I was older that I heard the argument that the buildings they were looting or burning weren’t part of their community. If a large company put a store in their neighborhood and it got looted, it wasn’t bad for their community became none of the success of that company was shared by the company - they were essentially just extracting wealth from the area. Some areas having already been flipping the board. We’re just getting to the point that more are ready to say “fuck boardwalk!”

I bet plenty of players know they won’t own the board but were mad that they got the thimble and are enjoying that the car player is losing too…

The whole world’s like this, why do you think fascism is on the rise again everywhere ? Capitalism needs that to survive having drained everyone from everything, it’s gonna keep happening again and again until we topple it.
