Comment by Probius@sopuli.xyz on What are your favorite games for killing nazis?

The only good nazi is a dead nazi. What games are the best for taking them out?

India Jones and the Great Circle was a good start, and I’m considering Sniper Elite VR for the highly detailed nazi carnage. Wondering what other nazi-killing favorites are out there.

I don’t think hating Nazis should be considered a political statement.

What were Nazis then ??

Just pointing out something that, certain Communities should avoid political talk wholesale (Not that I would call those punks politically savvy)

There’s a community dedicated to that There’s a reason why you all came to Lemmy

Won’t anyone think of the poor Nazis‽ lol

I’m literally thinking of different ways to kill Nazis…in minecraft

Love me some interrobang

Interrobangs always make it look like the text renderer is bugging out, at least to me.

The Nazi ideologi is a dictatorship. Dictatorships aren’t political. The word political in it’s most basic form means “making decisions in a group”. A dictatorship doesn’t do that. They do participate in democratic politics only because that is the existing system and they want to dismantle that.

“Fight the Nazis” could be a political statement, because it happens within a political system and urges the system to take action politically, but it is not a statement that picks a political side. Both extreme left and extreme right politics should be against Nazis, because Nazis want to destroy all politics, including both sides and everything in between.

So, sure, its a political statement, but it’s not a statement that can upset anyone politically.

The only people who can object against hating Nazis are Nazis themselves.

So… you’re calling me a Nazi ? Now I get why people want to stay away from politics

While no one disagrees with hating on Nazis, Behaving like one won’t gain you any internet points

Most of us here on lemmy want to escape from all those “Political Hobbyists” infecting everything & talk about non-political stuff safely There’s an entire community dedicated to political talks

The only people who can object against hating Nazis are Nazis themselves.

This was the key to his statement and I agree with him.

Video games need to generate acceptable targets. Aliens invading people’s homes, PMCs controlled by powerful men, thugs and looters looking to beat up whoever they find, etc.

But it’s ridiculous anyone would post “Hey! If aliens did come to our world to take control of our governments, they would be sorely offended by video games about killing them!” On one level because aliens don’t exist. On the other because if they were coming to take control of our governments, why would we want to protect or respect them?

Now, replace the little green men with discriminatory, media-controlling purveyors of hate speech. They exist. Everyone sane would rather they didn’t. That’s all.

I said that Nazis are not political. I don’t care if and I didn’t state whether you are one or not, but you can’t argue that anti-nazi statements should be disallowed for being political, because Nazis are not within a political spectrum.

In set theory, Nazis are simply not in the set that the rule is describing.

Here’s a Wikipedia article on the subject. Nazis still exist today (as neo-Nazis) and they desperately want hating them to be a matter of political opinion instead of a matter of humanity. Don’t give them that.

All they can do is reply Ok while they downvote your valid opinion, because anything else they say will reveal how much it upsets them that people hate nazis and their supporters.

lolol
