Even when a video game features literal goosestepping, swastika-waving, sieg heiling capital N-Nazis, they think it's about Trump supporters.

One of the dumbest takes I've seen among gamers is that all the Nazis are just trolling and trying to make people mad by convincing us they're Nazis - and while a lot of the alt right guys did think it was just a goof, it sure as Hell isn't all of them. I think it's easy for people who have minimal social contact with the real physical world to assume that everything transgressive is just a joke and that Nazis can't possibly be for real.

Also all those people are hugely racist and hate women and feel the white race is superior and deserves special treatment, so the line is kind of hazy. They're usually "joking" in the way that conservatives think jokes work: ie being more aggressive than usual in voicing one's actual beliefs.

They're talking about Sweden.

From what it sounds like, the fash on Saturday want to do a torch march through Middle Tennessee State University in Murfreesboro.

Actually might be Friday night though the voice in that video says Saturday. This could be a headfake, as well.

https://www.facebook.com/events/2041074962782551/

quote:

Middle Tennessee State University officials canceled the Contest of Champions ahead of a White Lives Matter rally in Murfreesboro.

According to MTSU Police officials a possible torch rally is in the works for Friday at Forrest Hall on campus - one day before the rally to be held in the square.

A second rally was also set on the same day in Shelbyville.
The public plan they're going with is to meet in the small town of Shelbyville on Saturday morning and then drive 25 miles up to Murfressboro in the afternoon. Also it's a bunch of the more boneheaded radical groups and there's, like, five different groups. And they're trying to coordinate all of this stuff for two different events in two cities.

Sounds clusterfuckey.

Local news bit on the counter-protests: http://www.newschannel5.com/news/antifa-activists-plan-to-attend-white-lives-matter-rallies

Two problems immediately pop out. First is some self-appointed spokesman talking to the press. Second is the press fell for a fake "Nashville Antifa" thing on Facebook.

third thing is this is the second paragraph

Antifa is a political movement comprised of self-styled anti-fascist activists and groups. Their known for their violent protests and rallies.

so i think your local news is run by idiots

It's because of the marketing, which is taking the game's concept of "fascism could arise in America" in a post-Charlottesville atmosphere and running with it.

The people complaining aren't nazis of course they're just normal folks who happen to follow people like Milo Yiannopolous and Baked Alaska because they like it when people aren't afraid to not be politically correct and to use the k-word and the f-word and the n-word because that's the 2010s' equivalent of Cartman ripping on Kyle but if you're gonna call me a nazi for laughing at a joke and for rooting for these guys when they go and hold rallies WELL THEN I GUESS I'M A NAZI THEN, ARE YOU HAPPY

I dunno, personally my reaction in that sort of situation would be to stop doing the thing that makes people mad, but I guess doubling down is the American way now.

If calling people nazis turned them into nazis, then there would be way more nazi feminists just from the influence of talk radio alone.
