Child soldiers? Live and die for the empire, they’re doing their part :im-doing-my-part:

Needless violence for the sake of violence? Hell yeah brother that’s the good shit :le-pol-face:

it doesn’t work. Anyone with fascist potential will look at whatever “Genocide Bad Guy The Metaphor Is Literally Spelled Out For You Armada” and think they’re fucking sick. You’re giving the fascists material.

IMO, if you really want to satirize fascism, hit them where it hurts: they are fucking incompetent buffoons who act like they’re god’s chosen race because they have no positive qualities besides the promised intrinsic ones.

    Do what the Warhammer dudes did if you find yourself in a position where fascists are taking your satire wrong. Make it public that it isn't your intent and they're assholes and idiots for taking it that way. Compromising our art and our interpretation of art to work around fascists taking it as encouraging their ideology if that isn't the intent is appeasement. Intelligent and subtle satire is cool and good and i firmly believe it does its purpose often enough that the fee weirdos who take it literally are probably nlost anyway so it's worth it.
