Image transcription: A YouTube comment on a video on Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus. The comment, by Diego Sosa, reads: "Hello everyone, I'm a centrist liberal and let me say that the first Wolfenstein is too damn hard and I can't get past the first level. The enemies won't listen to my reasoned discourse on why their ideology is flawed and just shoot me to death. I have a lot of weapons at my disposal, but killing the Nazis would make me as bad as them. Does anyone have links to a walkthrough that would allow me to keep the moral high ground?"

Shooting Nazis is the moral high ground.

Violence against fascists isn't an answer, it's a question and the answer is always yes

As the great war hero, Neville Chamberlain, once said, “The Nazis are perfectly reasonable people. Just give them 90% of everything they want, and we can all be friends. They promised they would only do a little genocide on the weekends. No big deal.”

They said they want "Lebensraum". I dont know what that is but it sounds like some sort of root vegetable, so I say, just let them do their thing.

Nor can you join the Eden's Gate cult in Far Cry 5 no matter how hard you try.

The game presumes the player is beyond consideration of less violent options.

I wonder if it's a coincidence that the liberal that kept American from joining the side of Nazis was closer to a social democrat than a neoliberal (except for all the racism)
