I like to use a similar scenario to try to convince people that there absolutely need to be reparations:

Everyone plays through one game where only one person can acquire property and everyone else’s GO money also goes to that person. Then, without resetting the money or property, the game is played a second time where the rules are the same for everyone (lol, wouldn’t that be nice, but it makes the argument better). Then challenge the person to say that the game is fair because everyone has the same opportunity and rules.

It works good for estate “death” tax arguments too.

Obviously, there are other arguments that should be more convincing, but y’know, 'Murica

They made $40 billion in profit on oil and gas in 2022 and they can’t even be arsed to spend 0.25% to pretend to be doing something to reduce the rate of their eco-cide

“Of course it does! We trained those divers well, they wouldn’t generate evidence for our investigators to find that points back to us now would they?”

“The latest request from the Biden administration shows America’s continued commitment to helping Americans here at home and our friends abroad”

“…but God help them if those friends try to come here!”
