Neo-Nazi snowflakes outraged at video-game where you kill Nazis.

http://www.dorkly.com/post/83711/nazi-pissboys-are-crying-over-a-new-game-where-you-murder-nazis

If there was one highlight of Bethesda's E3 conference, it was definitely Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus, a game set in a world where Nazis won World War II and proceed to reign over humanity. It's sort of like Man in the High Castle, except with robots and zombies and robot zombies. The trailer is wild, weird, gory and overall rad as hell. But it turns out, not everyone is pleased that you play as the one leading the resistance.

Modern-day Nazis, who believe themselves to be of superior genetic stock and deserve to dominate the human race, are pissing their pants over a video game.

...

See, Wolfenstein games date back decades. The New Colossus is the sequel to Wolfenstein: The New Order, a game where you shoot Nazis, and that game was a reboot of a classic first-person shooter series where you shoot Nazis. The groundbreaking Wolfenstein 3-D itself was an update of Castle Wolfenstein, released way back in 1981, and one of the main features of that game was -- you guessed it -- killing Nazis.

buddy will rule the world as joint dictators. There is an awful lot authoritarian about the US. Millions seem to love it. I find the US getting more unstable all the time.

sounds like CT, doesn't it ... but as I was telling someone here, these are no longer normal times, one can't expect the normal checks and balances to be working. ... and now he might want to remove Mueller. WTF!
