Kat Timpf mocks left-wing outrage over Monopoly's new 'socialism' edition

Fox Nation's Kat Timpf has a response to those who are apparently outraged by an iconic board game maker poking fun at socialism.  "Wah, wah, wah.  Maybe they're making fun of socialism because it's bad," said Timpf on Fox and Friends Friday morning.

Me sarcastic? No couldn't be. I am much too dim witted to grasp the quaint subtleties of such potent mockery!!!

I'm surprised a mainstream game company made a game designed to provoke people, especially these days when people are so prone to react.
But why react? It's not as if the original game was supposed to give you an accurate sense of how the Atlantic City boardwalk's economy worked. Why would anyone think the new one gives you any idea of how socialism works?

I wonder if this is the beginning of the Capitalist response to the rising popularity of that gutter ideology? Makes sense since all politics is informed by the culture.

Not sure which is worse, crying about monopoly or crying about some shoes with a flag on it...

I went to go buy it, because I figured it'd be worth money, but it's already selling for 90 bucks.

The funniest part of this is that apparently no one understands the normal version of Monopoly was created as a means of teaching people about the endgame of laissez faire capitalism and why government intervention in the markets actually is needed.

No, the funniest part is that the lesson fails when the game never ends.
