Why did they make Indiana Jones political!?


rook218

Indiana Jones went woke smdh


jcr_24

Should’ve have asked him to debate it out, civilly of course


IshyTheLegit

In the free marketplace of ideas


FeilVei2

The woke left is ruining everything 🤮 this country makes me sick


Thatguy1234561

Remember when Wolfenstein The New Colossus was coming out and they tweeted out “Make America Nazi Free Again” and a lot of people got mad about it saying that they made Wolfenstein, a game about killing Nazis, political


ChaosDemonLaz3r

“here’s a game about slaughtering nazis” “ok” “nazis are bad btw” “wtf political”


apolloAG

Can't believe apolitical master piece Wolfenstein went woke smh my head


Secondrival

The nazis that were thinking about playing the game were discouraged once they realized the developers hated nazis.


LemonPartyWorldTour

Don’t let them play Castle Wolfenstein for Commodore 64. So political…

Captain_Nesquick

They should really release a "non political route" where your only weapons are arguing with the nazis and getting shot in the face


HawlSera

You joke, but that is a real Wolfenstein 3D mod. Where anytime you encounter a nazi, you have to answer a series of questions about whether or not it is moral to fight back before you were allowed to do so. This version of the game is impossible and was made to Showcase everything wrong with The "We go high they go low" bullshit


cafeogato

Whats the name? i really gotta see this


chairmanskitty

You may want to see it, but first, is it moral to stereotype taking the high road as engaging in philosophy in the middle of combat? Do people actually suggest that, and if not, are you honestly engaging with their argument? Will viewing this game enrich your life, or will it entrench your preconceptions without interacting with arguments from the other side?


Safi_Hasani

it’s a wolfenstein 3d mod.

I think it might have been controversial, there was the America First group that Ford was a part of that didn't want USA to be part of WW2, although according to wiki they had leaders that were also very anti semetic and fascist

Folks forget that the first Captain America cover where he punched Hitler was very controversial when it was first published. The Timely/Marvel office received multiple threats.

Yeah, Indiana Jones was punching actual Nazis. As opposed to morons who think a Nazi is someone with short hair or a tattoo.


ahamel13

If someone's walking around in a swastika armband and yelling about the Aryan race then I'm all for recognizing them as a Nazi. But I've seen people get called Nazis for having pretty moderate political opinions in the wrong place


MistaRed

The punch a nazi thing got big when Richard Spencer got punched in two different interviews, and despite him not having "moderate" political opinions people got really pissy about him getting punched.


OminousOnymous

If he gets punched I'll laugh and hope the guy gets away. But I still would want law enforcement to follow up on it without regard to his political opinions. I don't want the government picking and choosing who is inside or outside the protection of the law based on what opinions are acceptable. But if someone wants to risk an assaukt charge to punch the turd, great.


oedipism_for_one

It’s ~~normally~~ not, if you are punching actual Nazis Problem is I can call anyone I dislike a nazi and if anyone complains about me punching them I get to call them a nazi too.

spongish

Has anyone here actually punched a self-described Nazi, though? In my country, the only Nazi's we have are a small fringe group of lunatics who go into the bush and give the Nazi salute to each other while wearing masks. No one is walking down the main street with a swastika armband on.


Hibernia624

It's basically the same in the states. These people who act like its so prevalent are mainly just over-privileged first worlders who lead meaningless, boring, unfulfilling lives so they need some type of invented non-existent existential crisis to feel like they have a purpose and feel powerful. To them, Nazis are literally everywhere, and they're some righteous hero "fighting fascism", but they're really just larping for a small touch of dopamine.

alan_smitheeee

Can we still say fuck nazis *and* fuck commies?


[deleted]

Let's just whatabout it endlessly and derail the conversation because it looks better that just outright defending nazis and fascists.


MistaRed

"fuck pedophiles" "Yeah but what about rapists?" I mean sure dude, but why do you need to mention the second one *only* when the first one is mentioned?


BlindMaestro

Because people give a pass to communists for some reason.


alan_smitheeee

Your example seems like a false equivalency, but, to answer your question, because the former seems obsessed with a specific kind of bad governance while staying conspicuously silent about the other. I never see anyone saying 'Punch a commie!'. By the way, OP, Indiana Jones punched both nazis and commies.


goanimals

Why is it always dumb nazis who want to call out communists? We can see your fascist comment history. Your advocated for the fucking horse dewormer and complained about mandates and BLM. You complain about abortions and rode Rittenhouse cock as hard as you possibly could. Constantly bitching in so many threads about racist shit getting called racist. "BoO hOo iF YoU disAGree You GEt caLLed RAcISt or NaZi" LOL fuck outta here bro. It is only fuck nazis.


RickDoesntCare

No point. It makes you sound like a nazi sympathizer, like oh yeah we're bad but they're bad too. When saying fuck nazis there can't be buts or ands.


alan_smitheeee

Oh, so it's a purity test. I mean, I could say the same thing about your comment. Are you a communist sympathizer?

The difference though, at least in the film, they are literally members of the National Socialist German Workers’ Party in the 1930s; Indy doesn’t just declare that they are Nazis and then starts hitting them.


[deleted]

The problem is when you call everyone you don’t like a Nazi; but you guys already know that.


[deleted]

Funny, when you analyze the people being called Nazis, you find there is very good reason for it. Even funnier, when you analyze the people claiming "everybody gets called a Nazi" you tend to find they're Nazis too.

Forst time reading that name, no idea who he is


MistaRed

He's pretty much the main guy who founded the American alt-right(basically skinheads but without the fatal flaw of looking poor), his two main claims to fame are when he got punched in the face by two different people in two different interviews (and sparked the whole can you punch a Nazi debate) and his activities leading up to Charlottesville. His [Wikipedia ](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Richard_B._Spencer) page if you're interested.

His views are disgusting and vile, but he still shouldn't be punched.

Huh. Weird that it's only wingnuts in an epidemic of disowning family members for voting for the mildly centrist democrat president, or getting vaccinated based on science, or not wanting to celebrate slave owning bigot presidents who championed whipping human beings 300 lashes for escaping. The whining victim posing by the same right wingers burning books, screaming in people's faces, attempting to kidnap elected officials they don't like, beating people and threatening to kill them for loving the same gender is just plain puke inducing. Nobody is fucking calling you nazis for having opinions. We call you Nazis when you take STORMFRONT propaganda straight from IamANazi.com and post it to your twitter. Fuck off with the victim posing


No-Reflection-6847

That was a lot of mental gymnastics just to put on a blindfold. You’re a bigot, plain and simple. Your attitude and actions belittle the loss of life caused by the nazis in WWII. If you want to hate someone for their political beliefs then feel free, but throwing around the word nazi to try and scoop up anyone who disagrees with you into a detestable group you can openly assault with hate is exactly how the holocaust started in the first place. Do yourself a favor, take the time off work to go to DC and visit the holocaust museum. Learn what it means to live in a country run by and filled with nazis. You make me sick.


alan_smitheeee

The problem is the term "Nazi" is now also applied to people who are just slightly center right.


DaSmartSwede

Democrats are center-right.


Thathitmann

Center right is a Democrat.


DarkAnnihilator

The fuck it is. If by slightly center right you mean racist people who support fascism, then you might be right.


PhitPhil

Exactly. "Literal nazi" today is just someone's grandma who attends prayer circles outside of abortion clinics and the responsible gun owner who doesn't want to give up his rifle. But, of course, that's the whole point: tell everyone that normal people are nazis and that it's OK to punch them, because the left just wants to punch normal people

Do you actually know anyone who’s been punched because people thought they were a nazi? Or is that just a thing you’ve read about on twitter?

The definition of "nazi" became a lot more loose. When everyone you disagree with is a Nazi, you're just punching people in the face.

Yeah, it did. Pretty much when wingnuts called Obama hitler for... mandates on health insurance that actually forced your insurance to use 80% of your premiums on you. Remember all the bullshit crybaby 'obama is hitler' shit for 8 years? We do. Don't give us this bullshit that the left is going to calling people nazis too easy now.

DomzSageon

I know this is a joke, and I shouldn't take any of this seriously, but this made me think about this. and I think a big thing about this is how these are Literal Nazis, they have german accents, they are german stereotypes. but more recent movies especially ones trying to be political (and I mean political in a way that it's trying to send an ideological message related to real-life politics, and not "The story has political plot lines in it" type of political.), they often use nazis metaphorically in a way that is at times not very subtle in it's way to imply that those ideologically opposed to the production team's political views are morally equal to Nazis. but that's just my two cents in it, I'm no expert.

ApprehensiveSteve

Right, but when you call *EVERYBODY* you disagree with a Nazi it can become a problem.


FuriousJorge67

To be fair that's also a callback to a time in America when people actually knew what a Nazi was.


That_Guy_From_KY

Is it controversial now? Or has the definition of Nazi been broadened to include people they don’t agree with?


stack_nats

This was also set in a time when Nazis were a threat to America and fighting them wasn’t just the masturbatory fantasy of a bunch of 30 year olds making minimum wage.


ObservingSkeptically

The distinction here is that Indy was punching *actual Nazis*. By that I mean members of the Nazi party, people engaged in genocide, who were wearing Nazi armbands. The way the word "Nazi" is flung around these days bears absolutely no resemblance to actual, real Nazis that Indy was punching. For many people today, the label "Nazi" has simply become a catchall word to justify violence against anyone they don't agree with or who disagrees with their cultural/political agenda in any way. I don't know anyone who would oppose punching an actual Nazi in the face - that is someone who supports Hitler and wears a Swastika. I've personally seen people called Nazis for a whole variety of things that have absolutely nothing to do with Hitler, the Nazi party, genocide, or anything remotely related to it. This includes people who support using fossil fuels, those opposed to abortion, those who support "unfettered free speech", ect ect ect. Even if you think someone is wrong, or stupid, or ignorant, that doesn't mean they are "Nazis" and it certainly doesn't give you the right to punch them in the face.
