Does TrumpUSA capitalism remind you of a Monopoly (Parker Brothers) bedtime story?
====
Do you believe in werewolves? Do you like silver guns with gold bullets or golden guns with silver bullets? Do you fear American capitalism will turn civilization into a proverbial greedy treasure-hunt? Should there be evangelists and bounty-hunters who track down the demons and werewolves of Wall Street and the World Bank? There is a secret to fortune-lust and the American Dream, and it is found in a place called the Silver Lake, where dreams become real-estate fantasies. That is the nature of immigration in America(!).
An idealistic female college student went camping and dreaming in Silver Lake on a special dream-boat and fell into a deep sleep when she was visited by the spectre of a strange phantom-spirit, perhaps the fabled Lady of the Lake herself, who wanted to tell this female college student about the splendor of Monopoly (Parker Brothers), a delightful/popular American real-estate virtual-space board-game designed to hype the romance of the American Dream. The female college student awoke from her dream with an incredible/insatiable desire to purchase Monopoly and play the game with her peers. This would prove to be the student's demise.
The student, Elise, purchased Monopoly (Parker Brothers) and began playing the real-estate board-game with her dorm-mates. They traded notes/ideas about the valuation of symbolic property and its relation to the markings of real-world market trends in the real-estate realm (at least in North America). Elise and her friends started keeping records/data/stats of the activities of the Monopoly games/sessions they played and the symbolic ramifications of their use of real-estate symbols/totems in the virtual modeling of real-life capitalism decision-making. Elise called herself and her Monopoly dorm-mates the 'Data-Guys' and 'Data-Dolls.' Their hope was to find models to present the American Dream as purely a 'daydream exercise.' Was their idealism well-founded?
Elise and her guys/dolls began playing graphic video-games depicting outlandish heroes and villains and even vampire-hunters tracking/chasing pirates, warlords, creatures, and soldiers-of-fortune. They then compared these video-games with their Monopoly games/sessions/data. Elise and her guys/dolls came to believe that the American Dream was really a 'dollhouse' experience meant to construct lifestyle-relevant models of capitalism fantasies. As they took stock of the fantasies/adventures linked to capitalism 'imaginariums,' they concluded that they had become ideal patriots of American capitalism and hence prophetic messengers of TrumpUSA. They decided to begin blogging on the Internet about the intrigue of capitalism campfires in modern America.
One year later, Elise and her guys/dolls were methodically murdered. Campus police could find no clues or leads and were completely perplexed. No one knew why Elise and her idealistic capitalism-blogging guys/dolls were killed --- their throats cut. Did some deranged anti-capitalism fanatic read their online blogs and decide to hunt them down as 'foolish pawns' of TrumpUSA propaganda? Did Elise and her idealistic guys/dolls not see the dangers of trumpeting modern American capitalism without humbling considerations about anti-capitalism sentiments among modern pedestrians? How would their deaths be compared to the killings of Internet mail-order-brides or bankers? What would President Trump say now about the security of the proverbial American Dream to daydreaming immigrants?
TRUMP: If you liberally blog about Monopoly/capitalism, you're unsafe!
CARTER: There's plenty of anti-capitalism sentiment now, Mr. President.
TRUMP: Elise and her 'guys/dolls' are really 'martyrs' of the American Dream!
CARTER: Perhaps they should've tempered their idealistic blogs...
TRUMP: How can one predict the behaviors of anti-American madmen/fanatics?
CARTER: We couldn't predict 9/11?
TRUMP: The destruction of the World Trade Center reminded us of the reality of terrorism!
CARTER: New age politics is all about negotiation and compromise, sir...
TRUMP: I truly grieve the loss of Elise and her Monopoly-playing guys/dolls.
CARTER: Their blogs became quite popular before they were murdered!
TRUMP: Maybe the American Dream has really become a 'laboratory.'
CARTER: We have to arguably manage the invasion of 'mad scientists.'
TRUMP: Here's to capitalism-literacy...
