Censorship

Yes I am up on modern history. I will also add that the largest Nazi Party rally outside of Germany (including Austria I think) was in Washington DC (I cannot find the date but there was also one at Madisen Square Gardens in 1939) and Henry Ford (the great American hero) was avid supporter of Hitler.

The Point I was making that those murderous F-wits co-opted other peoples’ religious symbols and stigmatised them. I’m not too sure of the point you are trying to make.

Sure, Henry Ford was anti-semtic, but he did not advocate the mass-slaughter of millions of Jewish peoples. People forget Hitler was in power a while before he actually began the Blitz, and the purge, invasions, et cetera. Hitler did have a framed picture of Henry Ford in his desk. I am a massive Ford fan, and I would compare his brilliance to Mr. Tesla or Edison, but of course there is always a shady part of any peoples history.

yeah, just like most anything else. (like, the real "arier" were the indian (in india, not american) people who wrote the vedes, no blue eyed master race freaks, just for another example...)

i should have added i'm austrian maybe (born about 50 kilometers away from where hitler was born, in the same province of austria). so the point i was trying to make was actually pretty much what i said: for, say, some 17yo canadian, the whole nazi, swastika etc topos might be something along the lines of, dunno, star wars, some dark tale of legend. for us here though, it's history. it's our grandparent's generation's guilt and shame. for this reason, we can't just go like hey, why not wave a svastika for kicks and in a mere "pop cultural" context like above canadian kid maybe can. and that's why we, or at least the parts of us that's not total whackos (and there's sure plenty of those), have an approach to depictions of svastika etc that, for countries without that history, maybe looks a bit over the edge or overcautios or whatever - it's for good reasons though, this was my whole point.

I don't think it's that easy with Steam activation... But I'm not sure.

The OP's question has been answered and this is getting into political and even religious discussions which is against the rules of this forum. It is thus closed.
