While We Wait: The Next Generation

[carmen510]

I would assume he means historical context, or anecdotal context. However, that pretty much covers EVERY instance of Hitler being mentioned.

Saying your Hitler's "Legacy" implies all sorts of nasty business, such as finishing the final solution...

Sure a historical context. The fact that it covers almost every instance of Hitler being mentioned is the entire point - that is the appropriate situation for mentioning/discussing Hitler. Almost every other mention of Hitler is inappropriate or distasteful.

I have no problem with the name, we have had 2 nesers named after Josef Stalin who was also a mass murderer.

 

[Nylan]

Very good point

 

[Kraznaya]

I think we should move on in peace and harmony by agreeing that the PC brigade, as well as Nazis, pseudo or not, suck completely.

Yeah, I'm going to agree with emu here. In general, genocidal people suck.

Hitler and his actions are more wellknown then those of Josef Stalin's, and the praising/admiration of Hitler in society is widely ascociated with Neo-Nazism and modern fascism, whereas to my knowledge, Stalin isn't. Both of which should not be tolerated by this forum.

I appologise to the forum member if this was not the intention of his forum name, although I think it's fair to say that this is the natural assumption most people would make.

 

[North King]

It should be tolerated. But be aware that it predisposes people to judge you negatively (I'm afraid I'm included).

 

[Nuka-sama]

Alright then . What would be a better name?

 

[Abaddon]

You are making a leap and assumption.. Isn't Hitlers Legacy one where we are now as a world less racially divided and more anti-fascist. Hitler failed, he didn't leave any legacy other than a lesson. We would be good to remeber.

Having said that, the NES idea of a Hitler win does tend to give the wrong impression.

Also, we have had several evil leaders as user names. Heck, Abaddons pretty bad-ass!




Change it if you get sick of people making assumptions.. or perhaps add a little explaination within your signature?

 

[North King]

Alright then . What would be a better name?

Whatever you think fits you.

 

[Abaddon]

Legacy
HH14
SS End Game

j/k



I dunno, Azaddon sounds good

That makes Stalins actions ok? praising him is fine? what is your point here

and the praising/admiration of Hitler in society is widely ascociated with Neo-Nazism and modern fascism, whereas to my knowledge, Stalin isn't (praising Stalin would be associated with communism in its most brutal form, certainly comparable to nazism) . Both of which should not be tolerated by this forum.

Neo-nazism and fascism shouldn't be tolerated or praising Hitler and Stalin shouldn't be tolerated

I concur.

Regardless, this name discussion should probably be someplace like the chat or social group page, either way it doesn't have a place in this thread. (The alternate history NES idea on the otherhand does.)

 

[Luckymoose]

I say who cares, the guy is likely to not worship Hitler, and if he does so what? Who are we to judge?

 

[North King]

Intelligent people?

 

[Cobalt Command]

Just a name. Until he starts openly proclaiming the "evils" of minorities, I'd think little of it.

 

[Ekolite]

No that does not make Stalin's actions ok. However, it means that people are much more likely to take offense at something related to Hitler then to Stalin.

Neo-nazism and fascism shouldn't be tolerated.

 

[Nylan]

Alright, enough of the PC police.
