If this is serious... Then it's depressingly, mind-numbingly idiotic.

If not.... it's so realistic that the same effect is achieved.

I can't believe that some of you guys take this for serious. To write something like this and mean it, you'd have to be so messed up you shouldn't even be allowed internet acces...

Well, referring to the poll in the article Apollyon quoted, I can say that this is definately not a very serious site...

The biggest pile of junk text I've read about Dungeons and Dragons. Most untrue.

I feel sorry for his son, though.

When we got back to the office, I decided that I needed to keep a close eye on this man. I have an SGI O2 workstation with a webcam. I waited until everybody left and then repositioned the webcam so that it looked in on his cubicle; this was tricky and required me to run wiring through the ceiling tiles, but the result is that I can constantly surveil this man and make sure that he is not participating in such activities as reading Mein Kampf or meeting with officials of the German government. I installed an Ethernet sniffer so that I can track his Internet traffic; if he reads any Nazi Web sites at work, I will have irrefutable proof that I can present to my employer as grounds for dismissal. I've found that he spends lots of time perusing CNN.com, which is evidence of his left-wing, National Socialist (Nazi) leanings.

What's disturbing is that some of the writers of those articles really seem to mean what they say...

In recent years, the good Colonel has taken on a more sinister persona, though. This character was the inspiration for one of the darkest new fads to be introduced to the new generation. Consider this: we have an actor named Harry playing a colonel named Potter. Harry? Potter? Harry .. Potter? I won't go into the sordid details of J.K. Rowlings' Harry Potter books, but I will say that the black scripture that flows from her pen of unspeakable evil is corrupting children by the thousands. And they are being corrupted in the name of M*A*S*H.

Yes, none of this is supposed to be serious, but some of it could make a bit more sense...

The D&D article...

"Like all cults, Dungeons has its charismatic leader, a bald moustached man named Peter D Adkison."

The link didn't work for me, but it seems to be the founder of WOTC (never heard of him). Surely the cult leader would be Gary Gygax, creator of D&D (and I'm told he's a little arrogant and rather bad at maths, which bears out in the original game)...?

Edit before posting: I've just read one of the comments after the article... Hehe! I've leave this in, though.

"refusing to play stickball in the streets"

To play what?

"activities like softball"

As opposed to hardball?

"and linestepping"

Following the cracks in the pavement?

"Get him to join a little-league team."

Someone tell him that dwarves and gnomes only exist in D&D...

"Have him attend 4H meetings."

That's a type of pencil.

What the fuck... The nazi party is an extreme right-wing dictatorship, the very opposite of left-wing. When will these people get their facts straight... communist = extreme left wing, fascist = extreme right wing. I know these articles are not serious, but they are written as though they're supposed to be, and there are so many retarded statements it pisses me off.

Well, it's pretty obvious that he doesn't mean it to be taken seriously. After all, the "nazi website" in question is CNN.com!

However, the author of that article is making fun of a real phenomenon: Some ultra-conservatives (particularly American ones) try to label anyone they disagree with as "left-wing". Even fellow right-wingers can be quickly re-defined as "left-wing" if they fall from grace. Hitler and the nazis are typical examples: Just read a few conservative newspapers or magazines from the late 30's, and you'll see a mountain of praise for the nazis and their regime, as "brave fighters against communism". Even Time Magazine called Hitler "our best hope against Bolshevism" in 1938.

Of course, as soon as the war started, all those embarassing pro-nazi comments were completely forgotten. And after the war, from time to time, certain conservatives try to label the nazis as "left-wing" by using their old propaganda (the left-wing was immensely popular in Germany during the 20's; so popular that even Far Right groups like the nazis tried to give themselves a more "worker-friendly" look - by calling themselves "National Socialists", for example). Proving that the nazis were extreme right-wingers is, of course, extremely easy. But some people don't know history, and it is those people who might believe such insane claims as the ones calling the nazis "left-wing".

Just for the record, I'll give you a brief overview of the reasons why the nazis were Far Right: First of all, there was their immense hatred for all socialists and communists. The nazis didn't just imprison, tortured and killed the left-wingers within Germany; one of their main reasons for starting WW2 was the desire to exterminate all left-wing ideas (especially communism) everywhere. Second of all, they destroyed all trade unions and banned every type of worker organization. The nazis had some workers within their own ranks, and when they opposed these brutal actions against the working class, Hitler had them arrested and/or killed during the Night of Long Knives (1934). No threat to the right-wing purity of the Nazi Party could be tolerated. Third of all, the nazis had a very friendly and cozy relationship with international corporations. Don't forget that they were running a capitalist economy, after all. And finally, the nazis were extremely nationalistic and xenophobic, basing their entire philosophy on the principles of hierarchy and inequality - typical of the right-wing.

In regards to national socialism, it needs to be mentioned that Hitler wasn't very fond either of capitalists, though he didn't hate them as much as marxists do. A key feature of facism is that it strives to create a powerful, unified nation with its inhabitants living in harmony, wich cannot be accomplished if the nation is filled with tensions between rich and poor.

Also, the NSDAP started a lot of social programs and other things, like the Volkswagen company- aimed at getting every German family a car.

So there's some common ground between nazism and leftist ideologies, but there are also some very stark differences, the most important being that nazis don't believe everybody is equal, wich is what marxism is based on.

Hitler wasn't fond of capitalist Jews. Jewish bankers in particular. He had nothing against banks, or corporations, or any other features of capitalism; in fact, he supported them - as long as they weren't run by Jews.

As I explained before, a lot of nazi propaganda was targeted at working class people (during the early years of the movement, before all those people were purged out of the Nazi Party in the Night of the Long Knives), and it went along the lines of: "Don't listen to the evil filthy marxists! Capitalism itself is not the problem! The Jews who run it are the problem! There's no need to change the system; we need to replace the Jews with Aryans!"

Of course the nazis did not use a pure capitalist system - but then again, no one used that kind of system any more in the 20th century. They did initiate a few social programs, but I would argue that they did it in the spirit of 18th century "enlightened despotism" more than any "leftist" tendencies. After all, one of Hitler's dreams was to undo the changes brought by the French Revolution. The leftist ideals of giving power to the people were the exact opposite of what Hitler aimed for. He saw himself as a sort of twisted father-figure to the German people, and wanted to take care of them, not empower them.

Well, "taking care of them" in Hitler's vision involved terror, repression and large-scale murder, but that's another story... the point is that in his twisted mind, he saw himself as a father-figure.
