    Bearstronaut reacted to sburke in How Hot is Ukraine Gonna Get?   
    wait till these twits find out that it is quite a bit more then 500 and that the Russian army is getting gutted.  They'll be lucky if they can threaten Lichtenstein when this is over.  At least they recognize that as it stands there is no political/strategic victory within their grasp and the cost will be ongoing.

    No thank you.  You, Tucker Carlson and Tulsi Gabbard can spew your Russian dis information to someone else.  I don't care to waste time reading that garbage.

    Are you spending time on infowars or some other Qanon site?  Don't.  It is bad for your mental health.

    It's a known and reported issue for two titles and will very probably be fixed in the next round of patches.

    That is all incredibly wrong. Ukraine isn't massing for an attack of the eastern territories and Crimea which were illegally stolen from them in 2014 by the original Russian invasion. Russia has gathered over 100,000 soldiers on the border and are the ones who initiated and continued this crisis.

    Yeah, an American man in his 20s in 2022 who cosplays as an SS soldier throws up all kinds of red flags.

    When we're talking about the 1st SS Panzer Division, yes we do. The Waffen SS was an integral part of the Nazis' racist and genocidal warmongering. I am deeply, deeply suspicious of anyone who makes a hobby of dressing up like these guys (especially if you are an American, which this guy's accent tells me he is). The Military History Visualized guy has made dozens of videos about the WW2 German military but never felt the need to dress up as an SS soldier while doing so.

    I would like to say I am surprised how easily people offer up their warped views and justifications, without the minimal effort it takes to consider their magnitude and logical consistency, not to mention the social penalty when this is done in public. 
    Here you have made equivalence between the SS, who had a clear genocidal goal, and the Israeli state of today, which obviously does not, and is the only democratic state in the entire middle east, which came into being through terrorism, revolution, displacement etc. during the rule of the British, creating one of the worlds longest and most bitter ongoing conflicts. 
    You have done it out of nowhere, as the discussion is about the SS and has nothing to do with Israel.  It indeed is suspicious that mention of the SS spurs you into criticism of Israel.  You know you don't need to support the nazis to be critical of Israel right?  Nor hate the Jews?  Discovering within yourself an anger toward Israel does not in fact indicate that the SS of the past has been misjudged.
    I should note that 'goy' means nation, and has been used in the past to refer to the jews as well as gentiles, though modern usage has it for the latter, it is not derogative by nature I believe.
    Lastly I should also note that the nazis supported Zionism.

    Unfortunately we had no women in the army in my time. I admire female soldiers though. It's much harder on them. Not sure whether they should serve at the front, but perhaps I'm old fashioned. Well, I am.

    If you are still unsure of what to focus on for the CMFI battle pack may I make a suggestion? I would like to see it focused on some of the Allied nations who aren't very well represented. Most of the game's stock scenarios are either the US or British armies. The Brazilians, French, Canadians, and Indians only have 2 each I believe. The New Zealanders only have one (very small) scenario. I would love for the focus to be on these guys. Other than that, thanks for making a great product and providing me with hours of entertainment.

    In general I'd agree with your comments, but the SS (and those who idolise them) get a lot less slack from me than others.

    'We don't have to see nazism and racism in every little thing do we?'  No, indeed.  But if we can't at least suspect nazism in a guy dressing as an SS guy all the time and enjoying it, not to mention all the people in the stream mentioning the letters A and H, then we might as well be blind.  There are those who over-react to certain things, indeed.  I am simply making the observation that you have to be seriously lacking in human sympathy to dress up and enjoy playing a member of such a famously murderous organisation.  There are people here who remember those killed in the name of the ideology whose badge he wears for fun.  Him saying he has no political agenda is nonsense, at some point you cannot separate the two.  The uniform means nothing without the ideology.

    I won't directly accuse this man of being a neo-nazi. 
    He seems to be entirely uncritical of the SS, even recanting his earlier view that they were 'just a bunch of murderers forced to fight' in another video: apparently 'things are not always as they seem', as he has learnt they were not forced to fight.  In apparently ignoring the political, idelogical, and genocidal side of the organisation and the war, instead of solemnly and soberly decrying it, or reflecting on what it means for whatever honour or virtue the members believed themselves to have, he does a disservice to their victims. 
    I am deeply suspicious of anyone who takes such an interest in roleplaying as a member of such an organisation, other than for precisely the length of time necessary for a documentary, film or reenactment, before taking the uniform off for fear of being sullied by it.  The live stream seems well attended by neo-nazis.  I wouldn't be inclined to give this channel time or views.
