The Sniper Elite games are a gift to this world because they understand that the only thing more satisfying than shooting a Nazi in the balls is watching the bullet tear through their tiny tesitcles in glorious slow motion x-ray vision.

Too dam right.

You know... Ammo is around the same price as a game. (Depending the caliber)

Porque no los dos?

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.

Nobody is talking about cosplay nazis.

If that's true, the comment being downvoted like this is... interested. On Lemmy, you're either a Nazi killer or lover, which is interesting since 99.999999% of people here have never killed anyone, let alone a Nazi. We can say fuck Nazis but also say that murder is wrong.

[–] Adalast@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

No, he is right. The only people 'cosplaying' Nazis are Nazis. If you are an actor on stage or film cast to play a Nazi then you are doing your job. If you don a SS pin and a swastika armband you are a fascist and actively advertising yourself as a threat to those around you (unless they look like you). This is "hate speech" which means that it is "free speech" and thus should be protected from government interference. It, on the other hand, can also fall under "fighting words" which are not protected. It all depends on context. In the context of a fascist wannabe dictator taking office who is openly promoting violence against minorities and showing blatant support of white supremacist groups like proud boys and KKK, it falls under the latter. It is also speech that removes ones self from the social contracts of "tolerance", "compassion", and "safety". Just like any contract, the privileges and protections are only afforded to those who are a party to the contract. If someone goes out in a Nazi 'cosplay' and gets gunned down, beaten, savaged, spat on, or verbally assaulted they have no room to complain since they wore "speech" that said "I support or intend to do harm to those in my community and I am a threat."

I was referring to the reaction to the top level comment. A bunch of people getting pissed as though if you say murder is wrong then you are defending Nazis. This is just mental laziness.

[–] catloaf@lemm.ee 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Yes, though self-defense may be justifiable.

[–] TrickDacy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Yes of course, just about anyone would agree.

Sidenote: my comment is also being downvoted. People just can't handle the smallest amount of nuance...

[–] Regrettable_incident@lemmy.world 14 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

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.

Federal judges have a lot of power & are near impossible to remove. Democrats could literally tie Trump up in courts for the next 4 years.

^ This comment is fucking delusional

[–] crusa187@lemmy.ml 0 points 1 hour ago

Hopefully they don’t wait over 2 years to get started this time, if that’s the strategy.

[–] omega_x3@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours 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.

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 and the great list!

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago) (2 children)

The Sabateur is a bit rough around the edges as it was the last game pandemic put out before shutting down and they basically ran out of time andmoney. But I still enjoyed it at the time. Just know that you’re basically jumping into an old, clunky assassin’s creed/GTA-like

The driving in that game is absolute ass too lol

[–] nyctre@lemmy.world 2 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago)

Yeah, I know, I've played it a few years ago. Was pretty fun. I've always been into stealth and such 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 1 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

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.

[–] LandedGentry@lemmy.zip 2 points 54 minutes ago

Yeah definitely. I really enjoyed running around the sandbox and just clearing out stuff mindlessly while listening to podcasts or talking on the phone. I wish they had a few more opportunities To destroy big targets like bridges and such. Those were some of the most satisfying things to ht

[–] Gigliorananomicom@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

They're not MAGA, though. I wanna kill modern Nazis 😈

[–] Kyrgizion@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours 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.

[–] Valmond@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Commandos is great too if you're the infiltration type.
