Video games are art and art is the greatest weapon in our arsenal for making statements. Its also why right-wing "art" always fucken sucks and has no soul.

that's what happens when you build an ideology on what you hate, instead of what you care about.

Very debatable. For a very long time almost all art in Europe was inspired by religion: architecture, painting, music, sculpture... It's as right wing as can be (no hint of progressive ideas). But I'll be damned if I don't appreciate a good Fra Angelico, a Gothic cathedral, or Mozart's requiem. I'm sure there must exist aesthetically pleasing Nazi artworks, out of context (SS uniforms are famously fashionable)

Ahh religion, makes everyone equal and not abused at all for control purposes.

Ahhh religion hate. Totally isn't an excuse to attack pagans and indigenous people under false pretenses
