I'm fine with that.
Well, idk. I'm a bit torn on the matter. National Socialism is an objective evil, but If we go by head count and general philosophy of life then there is certainly no worse or more satanic ideology than socialism/liberalism (same thing), so arguably the hammer & sickle, along with the French tricolor, and most certainly the five-pointed star, should all be banned for being offensive to the sensibilities of decent people everywhere. On the other hand, though, we all live in a vast communist empire of lies/Oceania, and so communism does enjoy cultural sanction and is generally considered house-broken and "ok", whereas national socialism is not, what with the victors writing history and all that. The United States for its part enjoys the singular distinction of being the only country in the world to ever have used atomic weapons against innocent civilians -- a fairly dickish move we can all agree -- so there's certainly a good case to be made for disallowing the old red-white-and-blue/pentagram-spangled-banner/bald-headed vulture. If you really want to go down that road we should all, for that matter, recall
Sherman's March to the sea and the rape of Georgia so down with the Union and up with the stars and bars. I personally have a strong distaste for America's recent little puppet caliphate in the near east, so their little chicken-scratch shit-rag I personally wouldn't want to see in game.
Point perhaps being that the various satanic ideologies of the modern world generally speaking all disgust me -- a gentleman, traditionalist, monarchist, complete reactionary, and warm friend of l'Ancien Régime -- fairly equally, and that I honestly fail to quite see why I should be playing favorites among them. Since this is a differentiated and educated standpoint that I do not expect brainwashed plebs and raised on the 24-7 propaganda of the aforementioned empire of lies to be able to take in, however, it might just be easier for me to simply go with the flow and, completely hypocritically, keep my politics to myself, and simply reinforce the dominant cultural narrative/decorum, which, indeed, allows for communism but not fascism. This certainly carries the least risk of me getting into trouble and shit-storms.
So there's that.
