It makes you a strategist gamer.


Now, if you're making a list of games on what you should and shouldn’t play, and you force others to comply, that is fascism.

This is why we MUST look out for modern day fash lists.

If they're invading you it's just self defense. They can stop the invasion at any time.

This isn’t much of a metaphor for real situations, but they literally can’t due to programming.

It's only fascism if you're playing as one of the Axis powers, otherwise it's sparkling autocracy.
