That's just because most of those games have industry and military being like, front and center of the gameplay. And most of them have dictatorial control as the best way to play the game, if you want to actually do anything.

Isn't that relevant to the real life, in a way?

Just look at the Congress and its brilliant decision making abilities!

I never go full dictator, but dissidents in games I play probably have it rough. *sigh* I wish I had time to play more games now. And had more games.

It's generally considered that Dictators have, theoretically, the best form of government. But theory is not practice, and thus are prone to disorder when their leaders, who are only human after all, die.

Or, with proper education of the leaders, removal of corruption and general lack of idiocy, a couple more.

i don't see how that's related but ok

the nazis could have actually found damn good allies in the ukraine (you know they actually were hailed as liberators as first, holodomor and all that being in recent memory) but then they fucked up because the mindset was loltheyreslavs

You know, if you'll search for german nazi posters from WWII, i am willing to take a calculated risk and assume you will find many, which might cause you to conclude that the germans ARE also nazis.

The difference is between WERE and ARE. bringing up propaganda posters from WWII is nothing but another offensive propaganda.

If you still wish to maintain that there is a problem with Neo-nazism in ukraine, you don't need to look for old propaganda posters, you could just point fingers at Svoboda.

But, i'd say that currently, even Svoboda and the Right sektor cant make much of an excuse for not standing up by Ukraine against Russia. Putin must be stopped and if russia needs to go down for allowing him to stay in power, so be it.

You can actually find that kind of poster for every single nations that was occupied by the Nazis.

Ukronazi? WTF? I see here typical German propaganda in occupied Ukraine here. Yeah, they used Ukrainian language  because using German would be counterproductive.
