Germany lifts ban on Nazi symbols in computer games

CNN:

Hitler's mustache was digitally removed in the German version of "Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus."

 

 

CNN)Computer and video games featuring Nazi symbols such as the swastika can now be sold in Germany uncensored after a regulatory body lifted the longstanding ban.

The Entertainment Software Self-Regulation Body (USK) said Thursday that games including banned symbols could now be given a rating in Germany if the use of the symbols is considered "socially adequate." That means the symbols must serve an artistic or scientific purpose or be used to represent particular events in history.
The move followed a heated debate in Germany and around the world late last year following the censorship of the video game "Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus," which takes place in an alternate universe that depicts a Nazi victory in the Second World War and features an aging Adolf Hitler.

Germans have got over their dark history since the fall of the Berlin Wall

 

They know that racism cannot be reduced to words or rhetoric. 

 

THe language has been liberated and political incorrect jokes abound. This is not new nor unique to Germany. Most European countries want to see their nation play a larger role in this multi lateral world. So yes there are political incorrect jokes abounding but there is a difference between those who want to be verbally provocative and those who will take arms and translated those words into action.

Fascism as it existed in 1933 has a future but not in Europe. 

Not even with a Le Pen in Power in France.

No one remembers how the war starts. Not really. Historians unearth parchments after the fact: they came to barter but stole the king's daughter. Someone shot some duke. Some Army massacred some unarmed minority. But what we do remember is demise. Suicides underground when you used to roam in an eagle's nest. The president, bearded, found in a hole. The rebel leader dumped at sea. No shortages of ends. And the mess that ensues. And the winners making the rules all the way to the bank. —Jam Hamidi
