they don’t humanize the nazid
They do though, they use overheard conversations to humanize the Nazis to exactly the degree that those characters would be permitted to express and humanize themselves in-setting , and anyone who finds that range of expression lacking should think about why.
I want to humanize Nazis.
As a warning about the banality of evil?
As a warning that even ordinary people can be whipped up into a frenzy of genocidal hate… Right?
Wont someone, please, think of the poor nazis!!
Riveting stuff, truly. Now, do you want a blindfold?1 day and 55k views for what? A whiny video?
Do people just willingly consume brainworms these days?
people eating brainworms for breakfeast is like the standard
“Your white skin makes you better than everyone else and you deserve special treatment for it! Go ahead and [redacted] people for the crime of not being as awesome as you!” is a pretty easy sell for most people.
We slap people with the truth, they kiss people with lies.
"Slapping people with the truth makes you as bad as Nazis
"
Um more like wokenstein
I kind of had this moment with a The Last Jedi critique
I was mildly curious about a pretty popular review, and after being somewhat underwhelmed by the movie I just watched the first few minutes of it. Initially, it was actually a sound critique of the film, hitting a lot of points I kind of agreed with (too many rug pull moments, several plot threads that kind of went nowhere, bad fight choreography, etc), but then the guy literally went “…and the message of the film is you should ALWAYS listen to women, that is what THEY are trying to push on you” or somesuch
It cracked me up at first, but then I realized it was almost certainly purposeful design, to lure in more naive people who would be baited in by the initial, well made points and who would then swallow that plate of brainworms wholesale
Thats how the pipeline gets you. I really fell into it as a kid
Spoiler for the peak moment in the series
The moment when a topless pregnant woman was firing off two rifles at nazis was easily the most B movie point of the series. Peak gaming moment.
I don’t remember this part at all, lmao. I gotta replay these.
if anyone is curious it seems like i forgot to mention she was soaked in the blood of her enemies too. NSFW obviously.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Holy shit I am so playing wolfenstein now
Maybe the real Nazis were the minorities we oppressed along the way?
Why are so many gamers fascist? Maybe boomers were right about video games.
I think being a gamer got co-opted during gamergate. There’s plenty of people that like video games that are fine, but I definitely look closely at anyone that describes themselves as a gamer.
“Gamer” just means racist these days
Because “gamer” is a category defined by a sort of libertine consumerism, and when that goes along with normal western chauvinism it becomes the foundation of fascism. Like people always naively imagine fascism as like some big unifying annihilating monolithic thing when it’s really just one manifestation of the same self-serving warrior treat lad class shit that’s formed the backbone of reaction forever: it’s distinguished from monarchism by its vulgarity and from liberalism by how it turns the horror inwards on the core instead of restricting it to the periphery, but is fundamentally running on the same treat-based motivation structure for its footsoldiers.
There’s a broader point to be made about how reactionary American counter-culture has always been, with this sort of chauvinist libertine element that may at times have arrived at some correct conclusions but generally out of self-interest and always subordinate to their own endless lust for special good boy treats. Gamergate was the crystalizing moment that took a bunch of these reactionary libertines and turned them into full blown fascists, and all it took was some talking heads signal boosted by billionaire financial backing telling them women and minorities were coming for their special good boy treats and were going to make them less tasty.
That bag of syphilitic jizzdump called Steve Bannon got to way more of them than any of them would’ve admitted at the time gamergate was kicking off.
Steve Bannon is a real piece of shit and I hope he has a painful death. Think about how much we don’t know about that guy.
The YouTube algorithm. Open a private window and start clicking on no-commentary playthough videos or some other innocuous stuff and then watch it start to put fascism in the recommendations.
I’ve noticed this. If you watch left wing content it’s even worse.
It’s true, you can fill your feed with nothing but Stalin’s greatest hits, and you’ll still be endlessly recommended fascist content.
lol yeah that kinda makes me sad
Take 2 paradox of intolerances daily and come back in a week for a bonking if the symptoms don’t subside.

I never got around to playing this because I wanted to do it entirely co-op and could never find anyone with enough time or interest.
