So many of the games we play are rigged- voting in politics, economics, monetary value, wars, social situations, cultural life, world affairs.
Sometimes we are enrolled into these rigged games from birth, other times, we are more or less coerced into joining them, with the illusion of feedom and choice.
Some people like to say 'you have to play the game to change the game'. I think thats stupid. Fuck the game and play your your own, your rules, your terms. No need to destroy the old game, take what you need from it, ignore it, play your game parallel.
There are a lot of people that have 'magically dropped' out. We are human, we need air, water, food, shelter, freedom, friendship and Love. We dont need cities and systems of authority and rule unless we have been deluded into believing that. If people think they need the rigged game, they will stay in it. If they dont like the game and realise they dont need it, they will eventually create and play another one.
...but monopoly...that is actually one of my favourite games. I love games where your toss the dice and see where you land...it is very exciting. I have started playing the game halfway before, by taking other peoples place that were losing and playing for them. I play monopoly for my own goals, and it can be very annoying for some people. My aim is to 'monopolise' the board by ensuring everyone is in an equal position, where the money flows and the game is technically stalemated- no one can win or lose. Yes i know, this is probably stupid, and still controlling, but...yes, i enjoy it for my own reasons.
This is like using the same game board to play a different game. Because people are so busy playing their own game, they dont really notice that you are not playing their game. They may believe that you are stupid and dont know the rules.
Sometimes people are so busy trying to prove they are competent in knowing and conforming to the rules and to other peoples' expectations that they may not even understand they are playing a rigged game.
What im trying to say is....if the game is rigged....forget what other people are doing, what their rules are, forget the game they are playing. It doesnt matter if the game is good or bad, if people are cheating, who's winning, who's losing. The game only exists, the rules only exists, because people have accepted it. If you dont agree with the rules, dont accept them. Ignore them, stop giving the 'rules' authority and power by buying into them and basing your life around either your blind obedience or you resentment towards them. If you 'rebel' against something, that means that you are still giving the object of your rebellion power. You are still playing that game.
If you decide who dont want to particpate in the game, all is not lost. You can always play a different game on your own terms, parallel to theirs.
