Default Taking things way too far

[QUOTE=Northwoods;1939771]I’ve always hated Monopoly. Now I have a reason why I would never play it! Thank you new woke culture!!

Of course even though we have come so far in overcoming such things, we've now taken it so far past rational actions..like this with monopoly game, we've have other examples of this throughout the history of the world. It does begin to resemble a kind of psychological phenomenon like the fabled tulip "mania". Many examples in psychology books of this kind of "swept up in it mentality" spreading because individuals fear NOT being on what is considered the "right" side of an issue, or in this case a "woke" individual. Dr. Suess wrote a great book on the subject...the star-bellied sneeches ! We need to beware of destroying innocent elements of our culture (books, games, art, even celebrations ) by seeing evil racist connections lurking in everything ...getting caught up in crowd maddness, being afraid to appear not to be on the accepted "right" side of something so we join in seeing imaginary offensive roots in everything. Beware of mass hysteria and the resulting collective mental illness.
