Jason Bulmahn, lead designer of Pathfinder objects to JD Vance owning and playing the game.
They say he should return his books.
Because Mr Vance is a fascist and they don't support fascism or something.
First off, I really wish the left would buy a fucking dictionary and read the definition of fascism.
I'll even be generous and use the online version of the dictionary:
- A system of government marked by centralization of authority under a dictator, a capitalist economy subject to stringent governmental controls, violent suppression of the opposition, and typically a policy of belligerent nationalism and racism.
- A political philosophy or movement based on or advocating such a system of government.
- Oppressive, dictatorial control.
- A political theory advocating an authoritarian hierarchical government; -- opposed to democracy and liberalism.
- An authoritarian system of government under absolute control of a single dictator, allowing no political opposition, forcibly suppressing dissent, and rigidly controlling most industrial and economic activities. Such regimes usually try to achieve popularity by a strongly nationalistic appeal, often mixed with racism.
- Specifically, the Fascist movement led by Benito Mussolini in Italy from 1922 to 1943.
- Broadly, a tendency toward or support of a strongly authoritarian or dictatorial control of government or other organizations; -- often used pejoratively in this sense.
- A political regime, having totalitarian
aspirations, ideologically based on a relationship between business and
the centralized government, business-and-government control of the
market place, repression of criticism or opposition, a leader cult and
exalting the state and/or religion above individual rights. Originally
only applied (usually capitalized) to Benito Mussolini's Italy.
I think they mean definition 4 and are also not using liberalism correctly.
But I think liberals need to look HARD at this list of definitions and register that Trump might be the least fascist president we've had in decades because of his de-regulatory efforts.
A lot of that list fits the US government. And it has fit since, at least, FDR.
Definition 8 in particular rings true during the Wuhan Flu "misinformation" era.
But the creator of Pathfinder was A-OK with all that!
So I ask, once again, who's really the fascist here?
Fascism in reality is just National Socialism with an Italian flair. Government indirectly controlling all aspects of life, telling companies what they can and cannot do, telling schools and churches what they can and cannot teach and say, going all the way to what you can and cannot say in your own home.
ReplyDeleteThus, national socialism witha spicy meatballa.
Both Fascism and National Socialism as practiced by Italy, Spain and Germany were right-winged, in comparison to the full-blown international socialism that others were advocating.
Woodrow Wilson's regime? Solidly national socialism with a firm totalitarian stance. And FDR further entrenched the National Socialist movement within our government.
Antifa is an international socialism group, by the way.
