A tonne of cartoons during WWII were used for propaganda, as well as many comics.

Hm, not showing up?

It doesn't concern you, Sister, that kind of absolutist view of the universe? Right and wrong determined solely by a single all-knowing, all powerful being whose judgment cannot be questioned and in whose name the most horrendous acts can be sanctioned without appeal?

Being required by someone else’s religious beliefs to behave contrary to one’s sexual identity is degrading and disrespectful.

People get all bent out of shape about that cartoon as if Disney was promoting Naziism, when the whole moral of the short was "Nazis suck."

Depicting Naziism through Nazi Swatiskas tends to be offensive to people, even if it's depicting them in an evil way.  (Personally I only take offense when it's depicted as something the protagonist of a story is suppose to wear, like the "Daughters of War" mod on the Skyrim Nexus)

It's like we're supposed to pretend that Nazis never existed.

Then again, look at how many parents get bent out of shape when the villain of a story doesn't conform to Christian standards.

And they say liberals are easy to offend.

Arguably, that's EXACTLY what they do in Germany...

An understandable, if not exactly rational, reaction to such a great source of national shame.

Kinda like how the United States likes to pretend the wars of Indian extermination and Japanese internment in WWII never happened.

Oh yeah, whoever Godwinned this thread (EDIT: TIM's thread-derailing skill is envious) and has us talking about National socialists instead of Libertarians -- that was an asshole move a masterful diversion.
