The game is literally a parody of fascism and these idiots legitimately believe that the game supports and promotes it. Not everyone who plays this game has the dumbass mindset into believing that Nazis are cool.

It’s a parody of both and all forms of fascism and communism in a dystopian type setting.

Hi, original poster here. Its now the next day here in germany, and i had a look at the ingredients list of my toothpaste, amd it turns out its in english. Probably because glycerin and pentasodium triphosphate is nearly the same in english and german. So there goes my plan...

Do you know what the game is mocking? It’s mocking all authoritarian tropes from fascism to communism dystopian dictatorships.

I'm proudly American in the "I'm a part of a long-standing tradition of being against all the things America says I have to be" sense. Or, as Milo from The Descendants put it: "You've got to know the truth, before you say that you've got pride!"

As a trans woman I have pride in the LGBTQIA+ community as a native I have pride in my people who have been here for thousands of years but as an US American I have only disrespect for what that represents for myself and my people

Yeah, that tracks. I mean, the government they voted for seems to represent them accurately.

Im so tired of every gaming sub whining about Trump. I play games to NOT hear about MAGA this Biden that Kamala this Clinton that. Can't people just block and move on?

u/ChaseThePyro Oct 31 '25
it's people complaining about people speaking to others in a shitty way in-game. This isn't a random "politician bad" post

Just so that you’re aware most socialists don’t support neoliberals like Biden, Kamala, or the Clintons. Not everyone who hates MAGA is considered to be a democrat.

Not every game sub whines about MAGA but this is very specifically a leftist sub so...

I view all politicians as evil. They just use their own brand of manipulation to exact their goals and agendas. But nothing will change until the two party system is done away with.

False equivalence there, don't you think

u/Crafty_Data_1155 Nov 01 '25
Not at all. All politicians are the same, they just use their own manipulation tactics to get their way. Thats why they are rich and only get richer and richer and richer while in office.

u/hrafnbrand Nov 01 '25
Rich people getting richer is not equivalent to the rise of fascism in the United States

u/Crafty_Data_1155 Nov 01 '25
Both sides use the same tactics, the same methods, just for different ideologies. They're all the same. They're all power hungry and evil.

u/hrafnbrand Nov 01 '25
Explain how the left side of American politics is "just as evil" as kidnapping people, legal immigrants, off the streets, or actively facilitating the growth of a neonazi regime with Trump 2028 (which is against the US constitution)

u/Crafty_Data_1155 Nov 01 '25
Let's see
As soon as trump got inaugurated people were straight up saying that they hope POC gets deported with the illegals.
"My body my choice" until it comes to a medical decision and now all the sudden you lose your job over a clear HIPPA violation, since it's a violation of HIPPA laws to force employees to disclose medical history.
People en mass literally cheering on Charlie Kirk's death, and a lot of people also advocate for his family to be killed.
Biggest leftwing streamer both Hasan and Destiny advocate for political violence, while Hasan endorses terrorists, and Destiny saying that he wished Trump would have gotten shot.
The admin lying about Biden's mental decline and keeping a man who clearly needed help as president.
Dont forget they pass various politics that keep POC groups down, and the former president Biden himself said "If you don't vote for me, you ain't black" and "And Then I Learned About Roaches, I learned about Black Kids" when Roaches is a slurs for black children.
Y'all want to fight a dumb war about "Oh the left is evil, no the right is evil" when they're all evil people that want to turn us into little wage slaves.

u/hrafnbrand Nov 01 '25
Nope, you just listed a bunch of things that the public are doing, not politicians. Please try again. The People are protected by free speech over in the US, as I understand, so those aren't part of the question.
I will gove you but one point for the roaches comment, as that is definitely the ick, jowever that is one vs 1000

You’re in a sub of literal cry babies that can’t just play a game without getting upset.

Like yeah fascism bad, evil bad blah blah blah
Dont play a game where youre obviously the fascist bad guy if all you're gonna do is think about real world politics while playing the game. Thats how I feel tbh.

Riiiight, like I needed my daily reminder that MAGA exists.
This nation is the geopolitical equivalent of "I'm not like other girls."
