I literally see front page posts on Reddit now daily advocating for murdering cosplay Nazis, with plenty of comments cheering on saying it is your duty as an American. At the same time Trump just announced that America will take over the Gaza strip so we can send our troops to clean up unexploded bombs, fight on behalf of Israel, & rebuild it with your taxpayer money as a gift to Trump’s handler, Netanyahu.
Cosplay Nazis are misguided, but violently attack & advocating for murdering people for exercising their free speech is both gross & no different than what people claim that Nazis represent. A majority of these cosplay Nazis are online edgelords, who have never even been violent. Israel clearly owns America’s politicians, so it understandable that people would fall into a conspiracy trap to believe that we were lied to about world history.
It is also convenient timing, because soon the protestors that called the massacre & leveling of Gaza a genocide, and those that protest what is going to happen in Gaza, are going to be called Nazis as well.
Murdering, attacking people, & suckerpunching them isn’t going to win people over to your side of history. It will only make them more extreme & increase their numbers. It is just as disgusting & a crime as well, and President Musk has already stated that he intends to make prisoners work the assembly lines for him as part of capital punishment.

I just have this feeling that someday soon we’re going to look back at this time and wish we’d stood up and acted while we could. I’m not advocating murder - but we’re voting in elections and having endless online discussions while the world is circling the drain.

People who self-identify as Nazis, as well as those knowingly in neo-Nazi organizations, are therefore perfectly valid targets of assassination. Historically, such people are seen as national heroes, so don’t give me that ‘winning people over to your side of history’ junk.
When it is strategically effective to shoot a Nazi, and it often is, then I advocate you do so without hesitation. Where it is not strategically effective, I advocate the myriad of nonviolent techniques put in use by antifascists. These are preferred, not because of some silly claims that Nazis should not be harmed, but because they’re safer and more sustainable than individual actions.
Listen closely to what a Nazi wants, yes even the ‘cosplay Nazis’, and think about whether their life is more important than stopping their goal of mass extermination.
not_that_guy05@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Sounds like sympathy for Nazis. They want violence, we the people have the responsibility to send them back to hide in the shadows.
We are here because we stayed quiet for too long.
Albbi@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
There is PvP in Path of Exile 2 and at least one known Nazi player. Go ahead and kill him when his Boosting Ground worker is off the clock.
Hahaha, love this!

This is the first game list article where I’ve read anything beyond the titles of the games. And it was worth it. Thanks for the share!
LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 5 weeks ago
[deleted]M137@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
It has become a culture classic though, one of those games that become more liked as time goes on.
nyctre@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Yeah, I know, I’ve played it a few years ago. Was pretty fun. I’ve always been into stealth and games. Commandos 2 and hitman codename 47 being some of my favourite games for kid me.
I was actually surprised to realise that I’ve played everything on the list except for the Indiana Jones (which I’ve downloaded but I haven’t got around to playing yet) and the captain America games.
modifier@lemmy.ca 4 weeks ago
I just started playing this based on a similar thread I saw earlier this week, and I haven’t put it down. It shows its age but it is an fantastaic and absorbing game. Easy to switch between mission focus and just killing Nazis for fun.
Freefall@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
All media should swing anti-nazi. More movies about killing Nazis, more games about it, etc.
Phoenicianpirate@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
And specifically to make sure the reality of Nazis are shown. Like in the literature you find in the newer Wolfenstein games, the stuff is shines a light on how stupid the Nazi ‘scientific’ mentality really was.
Zahille7@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
I for one would be totally okay if all media that comes out of America in the next 4 years is all about standing up against fascism.
pyre@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
unfortunately those take too long to produce. they will probably be long banned by the time they finish.

Saboteur deserves much more love.
GoodEye8@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
Saboteur is one of those games I’m afraid to replay because I have such vivid memories of it being really fun and I don’t want to lose that.
I already somewhat ruined Morrowind with modern hardware doing distant rendering. Back in the day Morrowind had perpetual fog and you couldn’t see far, so all the places felt so far apart. It felt like a journey going from Vivec city to Ebonhart. But modern hardware has no problem with distant rendering and now I can see that I could spit from Vivec City to Ebonhart. It’s no longer a journey, it’s just an annoyance because “it’s right there”. The magic of traversal is lessened because things no longer feel like they’re far away.
And that’s what I’m afraid of, that some illusion of Saboteur gets shattered and with it the game will also feel lesser than it was.
Someonelol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 weeks ago
I just played it for the first time 4 months ago and it still holds up incredibly well. The art direction definitely helps cut down on the expanded rendering capabilities of modern PCs. While you’ll still have some reduced resolutions of distant landmarks like the Eiffel Tower, you’ll barely notice it as the distance is often covered by buildings, trees, hills, Nazi fortifications, and so on.
PraiseTheSoup@lemm.ee 4 weeks ago
In a somewhat similar vein, the remakes of both Halo: Combat Evolved and Bioshock modernized the lighting and in so doing completely destroyed the atmosphere.
Zahille7@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Go and get Tamriel Unlimited RIGHT NOW
It’s a fantastic mod that adds the rest of mainland Vvardenfell for you to explore, new quests and factions, new enemies and monsters. It’s such an amazing mod I can’t recommend it enough.
Plus there are other teams that are working on adding Skyrim and Cyrodiil to the game as well, along with everything they should bring (items etc.).
TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
That was such a fun game. Little asexual me didn’t care about the nudity, but the black and white aspect before liberating an area into color was such a cool Gimmick.

“Is an incredible fun”
Words hard, apparently.
Luffy879@lemmy.ml 4 weeks ago
Making fun of people based on their ability to type is a really low hanging fruit. As long as you can understand what he
s trying to say, you should be happy to be able to hear the opinions of people who are less taleneted in speaking the same language as you, instead of making fun of him. There are many things he knows which you dont, and if everyone were like you, the human race would have died at the discovery of fire because the person who discovered it didnt perfectly know that times equivalent of grammar.Typical .world scum.
Zahille7@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
And it’s only $5 on steam! Just bought it to play for the first time.
nintendiator@feddit.cl 4 weeks ago
Do I seem to recall one of the creators of Wolfenstein once went to an interview and asked something to the effect of “What happened to America? Since when killing Nazis became ‘problematic’?”. Several years ago, maybe over a decade. The US was given a warning and they didn’t listen.

Anybody make a shoot the evil CEO game yet? I would also accept that.

In Cyberpunk 2077 the major antagonists are the corporations, although the game is not as punk as the name would suggest as you spend spend about the same amount of time working for them, or even for the police or government.

omega_x3@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I’ve been playing a bunch of Indiana Jones lately and keep finding myself going out of my way to kill every Nazi and fascist I come across even going out of my way to backtrack and get a few.
M137@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Yep, and doing it in the coolest, funniest ways possible. And doing shit with the bodies like throwing them off high places, shoving them into fireplaces, and gleefully smashing their dead faces.

2025 the year where you will probably get arrested when you talk about killing Nazis.
Agent641@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
2026 all the games are playable as the Nazis.
SabinStargem@lemmings.world 4 weeks ago
There is a conversion of Wolfenstein 3D for the ZDOOM. Best way to play the game if you want mouselook and other nice things.
RedSnt@feddit.dk 4 weeks ago
Took me a little while to figure out where to put the .ipk3 file (easiest is ~/.config/gzdoom) but otherwise easy enough to get going using the flatpak. Installing the regular gamefiles + spear of destiny (from my GOG version) was also pretty easy, but I wonder where one can get Return to Danger and Ultimate Challenge 🤔
Either way, good shout, plays excellently, although seems like hitting enemies is harder in this version than the original, at least when they’re far away.
SabinStargem@lemmings.world 4 weeks ago
Here, try this. The Internet Archive is very useful, as is abandonware sites and CDRomance for your vintage gaming needs.

Silent Storm is missing on that list.
I have a lot of hours piled on that one. Extremely satisfying ragdoll physics.

Once upon a time, before the Nazi killing was reserved for online lobbies, Call of Duty had games take place in World War 2.
They come out swinging, huh
Nice
M137@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
An unmentioned kinda out-of-the-box thing is Garry’s mod (gmod). Pretty sure there are downloadable models and/or skins for nazis, and you have a ton of tools for fucking them up in the most amazing ways possible. There are mods for gibbing, better blood and bulletholes and stuff like that. Make Rube Goldberg machines ending in splattered nazis.
Zahille7@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
A couple years ago when all the Floyd and anti-police protests were happening, I had an incredible urge to do something violent.
So I booted up some GMod, spawned a bunch of cop NPCs and started mowing them down with impunity. It honestly felt really fucking good too.
skittle07crusher@sh.itjust.works 4 weeks ago
Been watching Band of Brothers (then of course the sequel, The Pacific) and gameplay from The Darkness for this very “no particular reason”. The Darkness feels more cathartic.
Gigliorananomicom@sh.itjust.works 5 weeks ago
They’re not MAGA, though. I wanna kill modern Nazis 😈
Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I feel like that’s one texture replacement away from reality. But knowing that side they would relentlessly attack it and make it seem like some kind of “maga kill simulator” or w/e.
AidsKitty@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Love that old Wolfenstein.
surph_ninja@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
Yeah, killing Hitler was so cathartic.
Also just a ridiculous amount of hidden rooms with treasure.

Very true, but 2009 Wolfenstein isn’t underrated. It’s exactly correctly-rated.

Damn, I gotta get back to Bloodrayne. Great fucking game! Also, the new Indiana Jones game looks fun af.
slazer2au@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
Too dam right.
Majorllama@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
They even gave Hitler one testicle. It may or may not be accurate depending on what you read, but it’s still hilarious to shoot Hitler in the nuts and when the X-ray kicks in he’s only got one nut to begin with.
EisFrei@lemmy.world 4 weeks ago
You even get an achievement for it!

I was so happy to see a new one on gamepass yesterday. Can’t wait to play it.
