Indiana Jones doesn't "endorse" Nazis, Bethesda assure, just in case you were confused by him repeatedly murdering them

It should be noted that a lot of their blunders later in the war can be traced back to Hitler (or one of his sycophants) getting involved and overruling far more experienced Generals, many of whom were not party members. It could also be argued that the economy they set up, while impressive given the state of Germany post-WWI, was an entirely unsustainable war economy that relied very heavily on slave labor. That’s not to say they were completely incompetent, but they did vastly overestimate their own abilities and made many mistakes as a result.

I’ve had one idiot tell me ANY media that paints them as competent or successful is glorifying them. And setting anything in a world where they succeeded and progressed technologically instead of collapsing is basically saying Hitler’s world view is valid.

And people still wonder why I pick so much on the wishful thinking fallacy... I mean, that's basically it, right? "Nazi are morally bad, I hate them, thus they must be incompetent". And if you correctly highlight that this is fucking stupid, you'll get some kid saying stuff like "I dun understand, why are you defending Nazi?".

How exactly does he think.....

checks list

........a whole shitload of things exist? Everything from microwave ovens, to nasa space rockets, to jet engines? Shit! If the nazis weren't so god damned evil they would have been pretty awesome.....but they aren't. You know, because of the whole evil facist racists thing.

But damn they knew how to invent stuff, and have stylish military uniforms while doing so.

Here's my problem with wolfenstein. The daat yichud or whatever was a little too close to the secret Jewish cabal that real life Hitler believed/claimed was working behind the scenes manipulating society for is own gains. I don't think the series is pro Nazi, I'd have to be stupid to believe that, but I feel this particular plot point was a little tone deaf in a historical context.

If they didn't have at least a few competent nazis, they wouldn't have been such a threat; WW2 would be over in a month. I'm sure there were even competent Talibans and North Koreans.

If they think that, they may have a problem with what they consider glorified. They may want to avoid recognizing parallels that are far more personal to them.

Maybe it's a skill issue. They never could make it past level one so the nazis are programmed to be too good!

Putting the "God" in Godwin's law

Yeah they have a blanket ban on Nazi iconography with no carve outs for art, even if antifascist.

Damn I gotta play that one it looks fucking dope

From wiki

The Iron Dream is a metafictional 1972 alternate history novel by American author Norman Spinrad. The book has a nested narrative that tells a story within a story. On the surface, the novel presents a post-apocalyptic adventure tale entitled Lord of the Swastika, written by an alternate-history Adolf Hitler shortly before his death in 1953. In this timeline, Hitler emigrated from Germany to the United States in 1919 after the Great War, and used his modest artistic skills to become first a pulp science fiction illustrator and later a successful writer, telling lurid, purple-prosed, pro-fascism stories under a thin science fiction veneer. The nested narrative is followed by a faux scholarly analysis by a fictional literary critic, Homer Whipple, which is said to have been written in 1959.

You picked the wrong guy to ask.

Read the wikipedia article. It makes more sense but still a mindfuck

Murder is a crime. And it’s bad. (crime doesn’t necessarily mean bad, see Robin Hood for more details)

Nazis don’t count, all you’re doing is cleaning up the trash.
