There is also a MORAL RESPONSIBILITY to not let atrocities happen without fighting with any and every means at hand. The banality of evil was a horrifyingly potent weapon that the Nazis used within Germany and the replicated in many of the areas they conquered.

of violent and semi-violent resistance were definitely helpful in allowing the external force to succeed. I'm not quite sure we're using terms in the same way, to be honest, so that may be part of the confusion I have..

That feels like a vastly over-simplified and incorrect view of resistance to fascism. Obviously resistance fighters often paid a brutal and heavy price for their efforts, but they definitely made a huge difference. Look up the Heavy Water War for a specific example, but sabotage and other means

The last time we had to deal with a bunch of fascists with an incredible amount of power, the answer very, very much WAS brute force.

I just don't quite see how you can say that most ttrpgs play into the hands of the fascists, I guess. It's not really something you can encode in the rules for a game, or rather the antithesis, because in real life and in games the onus is on the people who are choosing what to do, not the mechanics

with a gaudy uniform and passable "official papers," and used that to his advantage. I don't think that you can write a set of rules as inherently anti-fascist, because fascism is nebulous and varied, so the answer seems to be sitting down with your players and having a conversation about it.

It's not fascist to have heroes, for example, Raoul Wallenberg, who worked within the structure of fascist-controlled Europe, and exploited the fact that he was a tall white man of Scandinavian birth to free thousands of Holocaust victims. He knew that the fascists could be cowed by a loud man

I agree that excluding any depiction of anti-fascism precludes any ability of that medium to confront fascism, but I don't think that you can confront fascist violence with non-violence. I think you're right that we can't use violence in the same way.

Sorry, have to reword, I should have said "meant to be applied more on a game-to-game basis"

I'm not sure what your goal is with creating an "anti-fascist TTRPG," do you mean to create an inherently anti-fascist system, or is this meant to be applied more strictly? It seems to me that to have an anti-fash RPG, it's mostly on the GM and players to make that a focus of their game.

Just finished the Name all 1025 Pokemon video and holy shit this was soooooo much fun to watch!!!

I was homeschooled until highschool, and here in FL the homeschool “testing” & “regulation” was a joke. I’m lucky because my mom taught me to love learning, but there were HUGE mental, social & emotional drawbacks. I think there needs to be additional regulations to make sure kids get socialized.
