Gaming journo gets the ick over a wwii game DLC featuring the heckkin nazirinos

You had to deal with the Far-Right seething that Dubliners wanted to speak French over Irish right? I quite like the Ireland campaign since it all sounds perfectly plausible since the American ambassador in Ireland was crying hard about how common Irish people had a pro-German and pro-Axis sentiment ( ie. Anything to OWN da Britoids and Germany sent u-boats full of guns to the IRA )

Ó Cuinneagáin truly did have global ambitions. Though he respected what Germany and Italy had achieved, he had no wish to become the local Irish representative of 'the Hitler fan club'. On the contrary, he genuinely believed that a fascist Ireland could become more influential than its Continental counterparts—not militarily but ideologically. By narrowly basing their respective versions of fascism on 'blood and soil' and imperial conquest, Hitler and Mussolini could never hope to spread their systems to countries other than those they directly controlled. Ireland's 'twentieth-century destiny', Ó Cuinneagáin maintained, was instead to become a model of the politics of the future for others to follow. By combining totalitarian efficiency with the universal values of Christianity, Ireland would be a laboratory for a wholly new ideology: a fascism designed for export. As a 'missionary-ideological state', spreading its doctrines overseas, Ireland could look forward to becoming 'mistress of the Atlantic as it is the wish of Japan to become mistress of the Pacific. With the difference that we shall be masters in the Pacific Ocean also . . . Should we play our cards carefully and cleverly it will be possible for us from the capital of Ireland to dictate to the dictators themselves.'
