Anti-Semites in Gameleague? Help yourself to an AD-FREE life


I just went over to the tribe section, and guess what I found:

New tribe: "Fascist Brotherhood" led by "der Fuhrer." Part of the description of this tribe reads, "Will you serve the Fuhrer?"

Now, I'm not Jewish, but nonetheless am gravely offended that Gameleague administrators allowed this Nazi-sympathizing tribe to register. Granted, it's not Gameleague's responsibility to police people's political conscience, but allowing a group to "[serve] the Fuhrer" is questionable.

Enter the AD-FREE zone


Well as far as I'm concearned, people have the right to free speech, and I have no more right to remove that tribe on a personal objection, than the cops would have to bust up a gun show just because nazi world war two relics were being sold there. Anyway, that tribe isn't very offensive, if it had been something in the profile like "we'll gas you and throw you in an oven." I certainly wouldnt have posted that. However I'm tired of having history watered down, espically in games, like how they fly an iron cross instead of a swatika over germany in the lastest Axis and Allies game....oh well....why not go protest the Civ2 fascist patch while you're at it?

He's asked a relevant question.
Frank has given the appropriate response.
I find it somewhat, hmm, revolting; but I live in a free country and must acknowledge their right, to be revolting.

i think spartan raises a good point, but i do agree with Frank. I think if the KKK tribe was formed someone might see Spartan's point.

I doubt any members of the KKK would have the prerequisite IQ to play Civ2 MGE in GL Tribes.

That said, it's everyone's right to be an idiot.

This seems that it would be for the Jew of the League to respond to this. Most everyone that knows be well enough knows that I am Jewish.....I find it revolting that someone would choose their tribe built on a neo-nazi foundation but at the same time I am a american and butt heads like that do have a freedom of speech thing..But as some all ready know I tend to go off on any one who talks crap about jews or Israel....so if this upstart tribe wants to show the rest of us that they are racist let them....through out history people like that have never "won" anything and I think this tribe will be the same thing...Let them stay I look forward to kicking their goose stepping a** in. Jews are a hearty race of people we have withstood thousands of years of oppresion and sterotyping and we stand stronger after such trials and tribulations. So let them be their will always be a**holes, right Evil/eyes/sean?.....Oh one more thing check your history books...The candians were in the first wave at Normady and they were feirce and brave fighters.

Hehe, I am sure that the Canadians were great fighters. All six or seven of them that Canada actually sent

I assume the low number of Canadians that actually went to the war is the reason he called them "pitiful allies"

Yo, Strat!
I'm not flaming, but I think you misunderstand the sequence of events, and what was really going on.
Hitler only got as far as he did, because the very thought was, in theory, ludicrous that he could actually be doing what he was doing to the Jewish people.
The Japanese were successful because they went a sneaking.
NOTE: This was about the last time the U.S. tried to stay within our shores, and saw it doesn't work.

Once Hitler was recognized, his military "genius" was non existent.
Attacking Russia in the Winter?
Afraid of the water, so bombing London was all there was to it?
It goes on and on. Surprise and disbelief were his biggest strengths.

Hitler and the rest on his side have been overrated for decades.
It was "our" side's fault that any toe hold was able to be taken.

BTW, Israel rocks.

Hmmmmm funny how religious persecution can be drudged up around a game dealing with killing and barbarians. I kind of like the name of facist brotherhood and really think it has little to do with Nazism and more to do with facism. Perhaps Italians should be offended by it, but not a person of jewish faith.To serve the fuhrer hmmmm well if I play the germans in civ I guess I should change all the german city names too? So how about to serve the Khan, oh wait he too killed many innocent people, how about Mao, oh wait he killed more than even Hitler, or how about Stalin, oh wait he even killed more jews than Mao and Hitler together. Geez guys grow up a bit, this is a history based game. I am sure we have also used terms by leaders who killed many other religious groups.
I like Dank's attitude, maybe he should show his jewish ideals are stronger than the facists and kick their a*ses. Jes can use his Divine ideals to kick the athiests. Eyes can use his evil powers to beat the non-believers. Just remember its just a game about history and history isn't a peaceful nice thing by any means.

Well, Vlad has a good point, the fascists were Italians. And his comment about the nature of this game - killing - makes the opening complaint sound like someone eating prime rib while condemning religionists for sacrificing chickens. I was once a member of the now defunct Dixie tribe (retired undefeated ), was that tribe name offensive too?

Ugh absurddoctor, the ignorance regarding our noble soldiers... The number of Canadians sent to the war was low indeed, then again I don't know how else Allied command could have justified using our selfless forces as first wave cannon fodder for the big boys. Close ties to the monarchy had a high price to pay in both WW1 and 2, but standing up for smaller countries like Holland was essential - regardless of how invincible the early axis approaches were. Let me also remind you that you Americans didn't enter the fray in Europe until the axis were nice and beat up, exhausted pushovers. Of course this was still a huge sacrifice on your behalf, to which we're eternally gratefull

War sucks, what else can I say. I enjoy witnessing it through a computer screen rather than the sight of a machine gun.

Our actual population had some thing to do with the amount of troops we sent. I actually thought since we put more divisons to invade Italy then the Americans we were doing well.

And the allied air program that we started with britan (who bailed when Germany started really puting down the bombs) was really a boon to the allies

"By the end of the war the BCATP had produced 131,553 aircrew including pilots, wireless operators, air gunners and navigators. Of these more than 55 per cent were Canadians." (quated from the Vetern affairs website.)

The program cost our gov. 2,230,000,000 dollars.

In WWII we lost almost 300 ships while suppling and defending our allies. At one point we were in charge of defending most of the North Atlantic. After we complained about it each nation took part of the atlantic to defend from U-boats. To get an idea of the area Canada had to defend draw a line down from the tip of greenland and east from New York City. That is what we defended. (Originally the line was from Miami.)

To get an interesting perspective of what Canada did for the war effort goto Dieppe France. (Thanks for the intell guys.)

Anyway, Frank, the mods keep talking about how this is not a democracy it is a private forum etc. So if you let them have free speech here but not in other instances isn't that a double standard,... if favor of the Nazis?
