Getting a monopoly to be less shitty is nice, but wouldn't building an alternative be much better?
There is already the french /e/ OS that exists. I wish european countries would start building on it and improving it. Thereby breaking the shitty monopoly.
Europe seems to have suddenly awaken and started actively looking for alternatives to american big tech.
And a Google free phone would be a thing.
#FollowTheMoney 🧵64/n The article made me think once again about Monopoly, and how perfectly it captures what the world is like. Originally called “the Landlord Game”, it was invented in 1903 by left-wing feminist Lizzie Magie who wanted to expose how rentier capitalism works through a game. She more than succeeded but - this being capitalist US - never got the credit for it. Interesting piece about it all here.

In 1903, a leftwing feminist called Lizzy Magie patented the board game that we now know as Monopoly – but she never gets the credit. Now a new book aims to put that rightMary Pilon (The Guardian)

Monopoly is when you switch between monogamy and polyamory, right?

#Monopoly wasn't invented by the Parker Brothers, nor the man they gave it credit for. In 1904, Monopoly was originally called The Landlord's Game, and was invented by a radical woman. Elizabeth Magie's original game had not one, but two sets of rules to choose from.
One was called "#Prosperity", where every player won money anytime another gained a property. And the game was won by everyone playing only when the person with the least doubled their resources. A game of collaboration and social good.
The second set of rules was called "Monopoly", where players succeeded by taking properties and rent from those with less luck rolling the dice. The winner was the person eliminating everyone else.
Magie's mission was to teach us how different we feel when playing Prosperity vs Monopoly, hoping that it would one day change national policies.
When the Parker Bros adopted the game, they erased the "Prosperity" rules & celebrated "Monopoly".

Wow, a masturbatory template for every #dictator and every dictatoress.
How revealing that something like this comes out of the haze of US #monopoly companies and crappy post-humanists: on the way to #Auschwitz 2.0, people like #Trump, #Musk or #Altman must of course uniquely identify the plebs in order to be able to graft a predetermined life/death onto them.

Brettspiele sind toll, aber gelegentlich ist nach einer Partie #Monopoly doch mal die Stimmung schlecht. Dennoch ist es eines der beliebtesten Spiele weltweit. Ursprünglich stammt die Idee dazu von Elizabeth Magie, die damit eigentlich über die Gefahr von Monopolen aufklären wollte.

Is all this burgeoning right-wing ideology around the rights of women (i.e. that we shouldn't really have any), in all walks of life and in all places in the world…
…de facto just another part of a grand money making scheme?
