        kinder to their veterans

        You certainly have been taught and indoctrinated to love your veterans imperialist mass-murderers.
        Fuck them all.

          This has all the edge of a teenager who just discovered a local library book on socialism and is on the way to join their local tankie cosplay convention.

          You don’t win over anyone but clones of yourself with dumb takes like this. We have a system, it has military, many, many people who control our entire society support the idea of having a military.

          Yes that military has been used to do bad things. So have many other institutions, arguably causing far worse harm. You want to see better outcomes? Work to reform the system that directs this military and other systems instead of attacking the people themselves. You need the people to affect change, you don’t fix anything by hurling a rock at someone’s head for existing.

          I swear the left has it’s share of absolutely delusional chuds who just want to hate.

          Edit: do not engage people, there are people who are literally paid to troll like this, adopting the most brain-dead takes and pushing them as representational of leftism. It’s deliberate, this user above I blocked is one of the turds that we need to flush. Block, ignore, sentence them to the shadow realm of silence.

          If you going to have a hot take it’s got to make sense.

          The US definitely does not worship their veterans they claim to and act like they do but then they make them homeless.

            He’s literally saying they should be kinder to these war criminals.
            I’m talking about your dumb population that definitely licks their boots and thanks them for their service.
            What the regime does to them when these tools have served their purpose doesn’t negate that.
            And it’s not a ‘hot take’, unless of course for americans which again proves my point.
            They can rot in hell, and you bootlickers with them.

                Obviously I wasn’t talking about you or me but the americunt I replied to which should be clear from “He’s literally saying”.
                So it’s not me writing in the 3rd person.
                You must have trouble with reading comprehension.

                I know you Brits also love their war criminals that are always eager to join their american looters in terrorizing brown people and you can be butthurt when someone rightfully despises both but that doesn’t mean you should make a pathetic and despicable attempt at slandering me when it’s obviously totally baseless.

                  The subject is the guys who fought the nazis and would have “educated” the dipshits openly supporting them.

                  I am aware the US didn’t help the USSR liberate europe out of some moral compulsion, hence “incidentally”.

      I ‘think’ there’s a more innocent interpretation in there of something like, “If you’re going to do Nazis right now, it might be worth making them more than a cliche villain to spray lead at so people can see how intrusive and insidious the ideology is.”

      buuuuut “we don’t need more anti-nazi slop shoved down our throats” is one hell of a way to say that xP

        That would be a bit more of a valid interpretation if it weren’t for the fact that Wolfenstein is set in an alternate universe where the Nazis win the war.

        You can hardly make them the classic ‘inevitably going to fail’ villain when they’ve been in power for the last 60 years.

        Maybe they could add a scene where one of them is stroking a white cat although honestly that’s pretty much the Wolfenstein aesthetic already.

      They’ve wormed their way into positions of power such as judges and statesmen. Anyone with an inkling of hate for Nazis would do jury nullification but then most people think the point of jury duty is to convict someone.

      In fairness, it’s a bit myopic to bring Mechahitler, the Super mutant, or even the Angel of Death into it as it’s the earliest one-and-a-half games in the series.

      RtCW dealt with the resistance fight in more detail, and the Machinegames Wolfy games went full anti-Nazi in the best possible way.

      I still haven’t a fucking clue what story Wolfenstein 2009 was trying to tell though, but I still enjoyed it.

    God, I disagree with people who say things are just as bad as pre-WWII; it’s much worse. Not that no atrocity preceded WWII, but the Nazis weren’t reenacting a relatively recent one play-by-play, these people are.

    And if they’re not stopped, the outcome will be much worse.

    Fallout 4, Outcasts and Remnants mod lets us go back in time, slaughter Nazis and then kill Hitler. I always run this mod for that reason. I take the explosive minigun and gib them all. Except Hitler, he gets the tactical barstool.

    Also, anti-Nazi slop is one of the few slops I don’t mind.

          Please show that same picture of the same guy as proof RuZZia are Nazis, Puttler!!! bla bla.
          Unlike ex-ucraine where they proudly display their fascist emblems and flags, nazism in the army or anywhere in Russia for that matter is forbidden.
          You can find plenty nazis in any country, one clown doesn’t make them representative.
          The Russian ones unsurprisingly fight against Russia as part of the Russian Legion led by the scum Nikitin.
          There they are free to display their disgusting ideology.
          Or that other one adored by the west, Navalny. Made into some freedom fighting hero while he was equally fascist and disgusting.
          But I’m sure you wouldn’t know that since you only get one sided propaganda to deeptroath.
