Comment on Monopoly
sloppy_diffuser@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks agoThere is a Public Assisstence board game from the 80s. We had one when I was younger. I can’t tell if it was a “anti-welfare” game or just making fun of the whole system. I grew up pretty poor, so I always assumed the latter as a kid. Since the welfare track was easier from what I remember, now I’m not so sure, lol.

I remember that game. My dad got it from a very conservative/racist family member - with a note that read something like “too bad I’m white and have to work for my money.”
I don’t think my dad ever talked to him again.

Yeah seems like it was more capitalist propaganda. Thanks Lemmy for ruining my childhood memory, lol.
