Why is Mt. Rushmore enable by Facism?

[Nuh Uh]

those who don't know what fascism truly is, you mean? they are free to look up the various things they encounter in the game on their own time and learn about them.

civilization is not meant to be an educational tool.. it doesn't have an agenda either. if we were all worried about sending out "inappropriate messages" to the daft, then we wouldn't have any games at all.

Its a matter of context and association. The game is in fact built upon the premise of 'concept A leads to concepts B, C and D'. As far as being an educational tool, well it should be, as it seeks to profit from our world's history.

Appropriate and inappropriate have everything to do with the media. Otherwise, you end up with an emotionally and intellectually (and if not spiritually) lobotomized society.

It's facism because there are faces. Duh.

Finely put! I know I'll be hammered down because of this but:

Dudes shaking hands after signing the constitution -> Nationalism
Huge faces of those dudes looking majestic -> Facism

No hammering down, but a slight correction in the name of historical accuracy. Contrary to popular opinion, the U.S. Constitution was not signed by George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt. It was signed by Leif Ericson, Davy Crockett, Billy the Kid, and Neil Armstrong.

I'm not sure why the UK is called a Constitutional Monarchy when we don't actually have a constitution.

Are you sure? I mean, a nation without a constitution, that's just scary... So freedom of speech could be removed as easily by the parliament as they can do any other thing? (Example: directing funds from museums to universities)

Edit: Or maybe i'm misreading the consept of constitution. To me it's a collection of basic laws that can only be altered/removed if a huge majority of the parliament endorsed the change (90% or something... ofcourse that varies from nation to nation).

Oppression through pointless obstinancy, and prejudicial ignorance as the status quo of social interaction, was likely a tangential element of affect within the countenance of the Revolution (as well the subject entreated by the sensibilities of the author George Orwell).

Enough background. Here's the pitch:

Q: In what famous present-day legislative meeting place can you see prominently displayed two large symbolic fasces?

I have no clue but I'll say it's either the U.S. Congress or the British Parliament.

Near enough. Behind the speaker's rostrum in the U.S. House of Representatives are two great big old fasces. Their symbolism comes from an earlier era, and was intended in a less creepy way than what they unfortunately convey to me. No direct connection with fascism, just indirect.
