Why does Hollywood have such a fetishistic obsession with Nazis? Seriously, its unreal. The amount of movies they make just laden with nazi uniforms and red swastikas everywhere.
It borders on pornographic. I mean you have movies like "Ilsa: She wolf of the SS" which are basically softcore pornos of dominant Nazi women. You have so many movies like indiana jones or whatever where they are basically stock cartoon characters.
Like, wtf why? Why isn't there a wikipedia category for "Communist zombie films" or "Italian Fascist zombie films" or "Maoist zombie films". What is it with Hollywood's fetishistic pornographic obsession with nazis?
They are the perfect bad guys if you're too lazy and need the typical hollywood black vs white story, just think about it, complete evil with cool uniforms and easy recognizable symbolic, and nobody is going to get offended when using them either.

I get a lot of Jews control hollywood, but you'd think if Jews control hollywood, they'd hate nazis, not have this fetishistic obsession with them and want to paint them over anything. Instead you'd think they'd want to avoid the topic of a group that is supposedly associated with so much trauma to them.
James Perez
The Nazis are considered to be the definitive bad guys. In life, you don't really get a whole bunch of well defined "bad guys" in war. The Nazis, however, everyone generally agrees that the whole operation is irrefutably evil, so it's okay to paint them all with targets and blow them all up. It's like zombies, they're one of the few enemies you can hate and destroy without a sense of guilt or second guessing.

Why aren't communists, maoists, italian fascists, stalinists, etc portrayed as much as nazis? Many of them killed far more than nazis did.
Carson Long
They didn't kill jews en masse.
Mason Miller
because people living in communist shitholes don't have control over almost an entire media
David Perry
Outside of political reasons (pissing off Chinese, portraying Italians as evil) you can't compare either ideology with nazism. The majority of deaths caused by "communism" in China/USSR was down to mismanagement and trying to push societies from agrarian times to post industrialisation in a very short period, and a good part of it was due the war started before (hunger, fucked up infrastructure)
Can't compare it to crazy racists invading other countries, starting a fucking world war and building death camps to systematically kill people.

Lol this level of ignorance

This is going to devolve into yet another thinly-veiled Sup Forums thread with 5000 replies of people arguing
Angel Myers
it's a coincidence
Aaron Cox
>muh Gulags are the same as nazi death camps!
Lincoln Sullivan
are the brits really any different? I mean on top-gear its constantly "ze germans" this "invade poland" that and every third word is "spitfire".
Mason Scott
Why does Sup Forums have a fetishistic obsession with Jews, niggers, and women?
Daniel Butler
because it was a great war with a lot of source for amazing stories
Lucas Kelly
>Soviets didnt systematically starve Ukrainians to death
James Nguyen
because jews control western media

Stalin did systematically kill ethnicities, it wasnt just "mis-management" to deport hundreds of thousands ukrainians into siberia shortly before winter and just drop them off in the middle of nowhere without food or shelter. It was a planned action to reduce their numbers.
Same with Mao executing people for being educated.
same with Pol Pot killing people to reduce population to create his agrarian utopia.
The Gulag camp system did contain a number of sites where political inmates were deliberately worked and starved to death. The Soviets also gassed prisoners, independently developing the gas van. Often the Soviets just dumped prisoners on remote islands in the arctic promising to return in a month with supplies but never returned, just letting the prisoners cannibalize one another. Read Gulag: A History. You might also want to read up on Cambodia. I'd personally take a gas chamber over being hacked to death by a child with a dull machete in a field piled with rotting corpses. You're either naive or dishonest.
James Wright
It wasn't the main motivation of holodomor, and mismanagement was a factor that increased the death toll. A good part is also because of the revolts, which increased the effect of mismanagement.
> It was a planned action to reduce their numbers. It was a planned action to distribute the population to places where nobody wanted to live. Obviously the party expected that many would die but it wasn't their goal, they just didn't care enough about human life to try preventing it.
Nazis actively did their best to exterminate undesirables, as they promised too. Not quite the same as a system promising something positive but going to shit like "communism".
>Same with Mao executing people for being educated. War against education and art is business as usual, from pre revolutionary France to Mccarthyism.
>Pol Pot More of a "crazy guy" similar to the clusterfuck in NK. Wouldn't work as a big scale baddy like the nazis.
The death camp like Gulags were an anomaly, most people left one alive. My grandpa was in one too, as political prisoner and while the time there was obviously shitty and made him hate USSR even more, the conditions were never "death camp" level.
Rest of your post reads like fiction, although surely you could provide sources for systematic gassing of prisoners and invitation to cannibalism.

As far as bad guys go, nazi's are way cooler than other historical 'bad guys'. They have their own aesthetic in terms of the swastikas and the eagles and skulls and iron crosses, all recognisable and intimidating. They are quite possibly the most stereotypical bad guys around, although now that I think about it maybe hollywood turned the nazi aesthetic into what is now considered stereotypically evil?
Chase Walker
The second world war is probably the single most interesting thing to happen in the 20th century. It truly was the single event that shaped the whole world. unless you argue that the great war was since it led to WWII. Bu you can follow that logic back ad infinitum so ultimately, WWII was probably the climax.

Jews need to continually paint Nazis as evil for muh holocaust money and special rights to do whatever illegal shit they want without reprisal
Levi Ross
Those uniforms were sexy. Say what you will about the nazis but they had style.
Matthew Rogers

>Communist zombie
That's redundant
William Long
Because deep down everyone fantasizes about a world where they won and exterminated the lesser races.
Andrew Young
Some of these weren't made by Hollywood. Iron Sky wasn't made in Hollywood you cock sucking piece of shit.
Jace Diaz
Do you really hate Nazis that much that you are actively trying to explain how mass genocides that had greater numbers aren't as bad?
Carson Williams
I am explaining that motivations play a huge part in perception of actions, especially in the western hemisphere. Obviously there are even more nuances but that would bloat up the entire topic even more.
As a simpler example: take two kids, one tortures cats and proclaims that he wants to take over the world to torture more cats, he also wears a cool Hugo Boss uniform with eagles and swastikas and shit. Then there is a kid who tries to operate on a sick cat and kills it accidently, who proclaims that he wants to cure all cats his way.
If you write a hollywood story for the masses and need a villain nobody will feel sorry about, you take the first kid. It's that simple.
Zachary Butler
are you kidding? they want to garner sympathy for jews, that's absolutely the only reason why the Holocaust is portrayed so frequently and never any other genocides (or even the fact that there were millions of non jewish holocaust victims)
