Judaism and Whiteness in Wolfenstein

I came here to say the same thing

when I first saw this I misread "based" as "biased" and was just like "wtf is this comment doing on top on a JG video of all places??", but then I realized lol

Killing communists is also an ethical removal of fascism. Sadly the westerners don't understand that. There should definitely be a game where I can kill communists as ruthlessly as killing the nazis, so I could feel like revenge has been served for the people who raped and killed thousands of my people.

Not just Slavic, but specifically Polish. The country that suffered the most under the Nazis.

It's also ironic that his last name comes from his father, meaning father is at least partly or fully Slavic, so his racist sellout of the Nazis would actually be considered inferior by the Nazis and it heavily reflects on how in the US, it is pretty multicultural, something Hitler hated and so many of these neo Nazis would not only be deemed as inferior for being Slavic, but many many Caucasians are partly non white so a lot of these so called neo Nazis aren't even purely white.

I don't know much about the games, but from what I've gleamed from this video, it's some damn good political commentary and character depth with a fun amount of ultrapowerful supersoldier bullshit sprinkled in. Fucking love it.

@Lilliana Eve, got it in one. The choice to fully embrace "video-gamey" nonsense like instantly healing bullet wounds by eating dog food while also adding a ton of extra depth & humanity to the world & characters makes both the modern Wolfenstein games an utter joy to play. New Colossus has an early-game slump that's not helped by middle-chapter syndrome and a fairly bleak opening act, but it's still pretty damn fun.

I don't know if you've seen Nerbit's series where he plays through the Fallout games as Abe Lincoln (basically, he has to free all slaves and kill all the slavers)- but I like to imagine that BJ is like Honest Abe, but instead of being powered by slaver blood, he's powered by Nazi blood.

@Nightwalk444 let's ignore the billions starving and slaving under capitalism right now and the fact that those numbers are a combination of exaggerated, straight up lies, and not even from communist countries.

Not really, it just shows that the Nazis are "generically evil" while your repeated interactions with BJ's Dad make him "specifically evil". We tend to despise people who are generically evil but have much more hatred for people whose actions we can actually put a finger on. This is why in "Harry Potter" for example, despite Voldemort (generically evil) being a mass-murderer who repeatedly kills and tortures people, most people hate Umbridge (specifically evil) because the actions she takes against the protagonists are specific and show the depth of her personal failures. Voldemort is certainly worse than Umbridge but Umbridge _feels_ worse because her actions are specific.

@stillness God Might wanna check yaself bro, sounds like you fell down some alt-right pipeline and now blame Jewish people for everything, lmao. Cope harder bro.

@Pep Nope. A lot of those guys would outright state that they killed Nazis and fought a war against them. And probably that the only good Nazi is a dead Nazi. The right-wing currently would wring its hands at how inappropriate it is to punch Richard Spencer. That this is uncivil and a form of censorship. It's a tiresome game that conservatives play, they've spent so long gaslighting us into believing that they don't play politics by recasting everybody else as too PC, unfun and far too into id pol. But they like to play the same game themselves and we shouldn't allow them carte blanche to recast themselves as punk rock rebels. They fight for the privilege to spew hateful speech, misinformation and incitements to violence. Claiming that this is protected speech. "The tolerant left" on the other hand, is also quite un-PC about what they think about it. (Or at least, they should be.) Politics is a game _everybody_ plays, unless you just lack a heartbeat and live under a rock. Do you want to know what my opinion is? Sherman should've had three more years of war in the South. That way we wouldn't have to tolerate the ideological successors of the Confederacy. They needed war lashed into their collective trauma, so that maybe they wouldn't come to love militarism so much. So that all the people who want to LARP as feudal plantation lords and ladies are replaced by people with an actual conscience. So many self-described "libertarian" centrists are only fascist-sympathizers with a coat of paint. The political spectrum is not a horseshoe. It is a fishhook. So clutch at your pearls harder, swine. Killing Nazis in video games is fun. Cry your fascist tears for me.

As a Chinese-Indonesian, I relate to your comment a lot. In Suharto's era, he eradicated our culture in order to turn us more "Indonesian". We are not allowed to use Chinese names, open Chinese schools, celebrate our culture, and speak our languages. Back in May 1998, a riot which targeted many ethnic groups which included Chinese-Indonesians happened. This riot caused many Chinese-Indonesians to flee their homeland in order to find a safe place. Those Chinese-Indonesians were persecuted for the similar reasons why the Jews were persecuted in western countries. That is because they were more prosperous than the majority ethnicity at the time.

He is purousefully ridiculling nazis. They don't have any serious arguments, no rationality, no logical arguments. Just look at Himler, at Hitler, at the "model heroes of the reich", they were absolutely pathetic idiots. Hitler was an illiterate imbecil, Himler was so pathetic his only future could come from oppressing others, and even Goebels' propaganda couldn't get the soldiers facing reality to believe in it's bullshit. Fascism isn't just wrong, it's a pathetic ideology that convinces insecure people that they're the best.

It's literal too though - they lost WW2

You dont find any justice in reducing them to something pathetic to laugh at? They didn't just lose, they embody the meaning of a "loser". To me, treating them with any kind of reverence is odd.

I think it's fitting. These people thrive off of seeing themselves as a force to be reckoned with. A boogeyman in the closet. But really, they're fat and stupid. They're the dregs of people. They are, by all accounts, losers

They were definitely not the worst, ever heard of what Belgium did to the people of the Congo? Or the United States and its own genocide and fuckin chattel slavery? Or Churchill starving the people of the indian subcontinent while poaching their population?

@@yummypopsicle8046 swarthy means dark-skinned

It's seriously the easiest rebuttal to white supremacy. We've even got all the documentation to track the changes. "White" meant land-owning Anglo-Saxon Protestants from the Mayflower crossing until they realized they were outnumbered, then piece by piece they took "different races," people they'd oppressed, people they'd _killed,_ and made them "white" to outnumber whoever they wanted to oppress this week--what changed? Nothing but the definition. It's almost like...it's all a scam... Whenever racism tries to align with reality it falls apart, you've got to cling to delusion to believe in racism--and people do. They'd rather be "white" by their definition than face the fact that they're no different from the people they're oppressing.

The first two games are held in very high regard, they are praised by almost everyone. The second game is a masterpiece is terms of storytelling, gameplay and visuals. It is probably the game of the decade for me. The third game becomes more mainstream and easier for the casuals, some mechanics were simplified and other things seem streamlined probably to work fine on consoles, the game is also more cinematic and constrained. The game goes into your face to tell you the story instead of letting you play through it. That riled a lot of people up. The fourth game (Wolftensten: Youngbloods) is okay for a co-op shooter, but it devolved a lot from the classical story about BJ. And people went berserk because of it, its ratings are terrible. About the other stuff, you cannot "not have politics" in a game about Nazis. It's an oxymoron.

Except in the older Wolfenstein games in which he eats while fighting nazis.

Except part of being jewish *is* being a fighter. It's fighting for your identity and fighting for your life when people try to snuff it out. Hannukha isn't some knockoff christmas, it's a story about resistence, about the few against the many and pushing back the dark even if it's just one candle flame at a time. "Every one is a small light, and all together we're a tremendous bonfire." It's the core of the holiday, part of the legend, part of the songs. It's something he would know about even in the kind of home he grew up in because passing on the stories is also a part of being jewish, those are his childhood bedtime stories. The stories many real life jewish partizans thought about when fighting the nazis in ww2. But even aside from all of that, the resistance are fighting for their right to individuality, their right to be a person. Growing as a person, *being* a person, is the biggest fuck you he could give to the nazis and we see all of that. We see all the cast having those human moments. How come he has time to fall in love and develop a relationship but doesn't have time to learn about judaism? There are many bits and pieces of it he could ask about and learn about when there's spare time. He could learn the Shema in less than 10 minutes and that's if he has a bad ear for languages, since the short version of it is literally one sentence. Do you know how much of a fuck you it would be for him to charge nazis while calling the Shema like countless other jewish fighters before him? A huge steaming pile of fuck you, and isn't that what he's all about?

Considering he didn’t grow up Jewish, he simply isn’t, he grew up as a Christian.

My grandfather was Polish and one of the only reasons that he claimed saved him during his time in the work camps was that the guards treated him a slightly better than others there with him, because "he looked Aryan".

Yeah, this sort of bugged me, too. Something I noticed about Nazis in the USA today is that they focus on the "white race".

@@E.V.A.N-COProductionsa White person

Right, everyone agrees the people in the vid are nazis. The problem is the boy who cried wolf, I'm gonna need the dude to actively mention hating jews, doing the salute, say they're superior to other races, etc. Since I never watched richard spencer, it took me a while to go ''Oh he's an ACTUAL LITERAL nazi not just natzee meanie word''

I would argue that Nazis is a loser ideology. I think that it’s hard to call Italians Nazis

Yep and that the main character is a vulnerable young man merely wanting to build a future for those he loves from people who'd kill them (he's as far removed from the "cigar chomping pun making cliche" as one can be but still be badass.

Hm, I didn’t really consciously think of that before, since I’m not really a member of that particular audience/group, but it’s interesting. I appreciate your comment, although it’s underrated. It’s actually a very wholesome and effective way to teach the people who wouldn’t normally be open to learning about that sort of thing, and the studio’s efforts in that regard have likely caused quite a few stubborn and insensitive dudes more about reality.

I work with people with disabilities and I was so happy when I saw the character Max Hass. I have never seen someone with a mental disability in a video game before.

Power fantasy is by definition about giving people who are powerless a taste of power. The idea that power fantasy is for audiences unfamiliar with oppression or disenfranchisement is totally backwards. One of the issues I have with the video's breakdown of wolfenstien is in a similar vain. The characters are not a product of their time, or even the fictional universe, but are instead inserts for players to identify with. A grab bag of minorities totally disconnected from the world around them, spouting off talking points 50 years after their time. Its the essence of " A Priest, A Rabbi, and a Minister Walk Into a Bar", but its not trying to be funny, its trying to be deep and failing miserably. The very idea of masculinity as you describe it is a modern interpretation. And its great for a game examine old ideas through a modern lens. But it makes no sense for the characters to use that interpretation. Feminism went through many fazes before becoming what it is today. A feminist in the 1940s would not be arguing for total equality between the sexes. Because the very concept of feminism in order to exist must define female. And if male and female are the same, then they no longer mean anything, and the idea of feminism as a movement becomes meaningless. It was only recently when feminism became inter-sectional, that it evolved beyond simply promoting women's issues. Egalitarianism is not feminism, some mistakenly conflate it as proto-feminism, since many of the early supporters of feminism did so under the banner of equality. This is much the same with race. All these issues evolved separately. The race debate predates the very concept of race itself. When the constitution of the United States was first signed,slavery was a hot topic even then. But for the sake of keeping the peace in a time when the Union was very weak, the issue was dropped as a concession. But the debate continued on, until finally it caused a civil war. Modern interpretations try to explain these dialogs not by reading you the works of people of that time, but by recreating those events using character's from our own time. This does not do history justice. The issue of slavery had nothing to do with race. We applied that label after the fact because the two issues share alot in common. But the people of that period never had any use for that term. The reality is that the enlightenment philosophy of egalitarianism predates the concept of race, and like all belief systems was not universally understood or shared. There were many different interpretations within every movement and time period, and only the leaders of these movements gave them their single voice. In this same way, the nazi party was made of a coalition of different interested parties. There was not, nor is there now a single jewish identity. It is only a gross generalization used for the sake of brevity that we refer to jews as such, and only when it is applicable. Despite this, there were and are still jews who refer to themselves in this way. The nazis did not invent any of this, they simply capitalized on the already existing antisemitism rampant all over the world. The reason these clashes of culture occurred in the first place was because pockets of isolated groups, that prevously never made contact started to mix, as the world became more interconnected, and travel became available to more and more people. Much of this was not known then, and much of this is ignored by people who generalize about history today. Everything I've said thus far is a generalization of some sort or another. Its necessary to speak in general terms for the sake of time. My point being, is that this game has literally volumes of subject matter it could dive into, but instead glosses over everything, and is heralded by some as artistic genius simple for telling them what they want to hear. This game touches on nothing, it completely ignores all of human history, with not even an attempt at explaining it's own lore, and instead focuses on a character drama that for all it's merits has nothing to do with the subject matter the game is most famous for. Its depiction of nazis is chartoonish, its depiction of jews, blacks, even the mentally disabled, all just caricatures. There is no nuance, no subtlety, and no realism to be seen for miles. Its total crap.

@@Fabrizio_Ruffo well spoken. The old wolfenstein games had at least some atmosphere and historic inspiration, but the new ones are just anti white power fantasies.

no it hasnt The same people NC was meant to pander to are now the ones calling Jews Nazis 🤣 If this game came out in 2024 and they made Bj Jewish it would be boycotted That is real hate 😂

@stillness God you keep saying 'Germans' but from context it's clear you mean 'nazis'. And if you think they were the last free thinkers I can't help you.

@stillness God you do know you are talking to a descendant of a survivor of several nazi prison camps, right? You do know that Europeans know what WW2 was like firsthand? That I don't need a history book to know my father was named after a child killed by nazis? That not all germans were nazis, and that nazis certainly would have killed me because I'm disabled? This is not something the media made up, my grandparents barely survived it. But by all means keep lying, the engagement is good for Jacob's channel, and I live knowing this argument is spreading his work through the algorythm.

@stillness God keep going, nazi.

@stillness God nah not really I don't think debating fascists is worth anything. Turns out if you're committed to wiping out millions of people it's pretty easy to lie, argue in bad faith and manipulate people. But again, I do want to drag this out so Jacob gets more traffic.

@Durst Löscher There were plenty of dark haired Germans even in the Third Reich. Vast majority of them in fact (outside of regions where it would obviously be more common like Brandenburg). You would’ve probably just been picked on. At worst you would’ve been categorized as Western European like the British or us Americans and the French.

@@durstloscher2362 Well if you have polish roots you would have been considered a half-breed

@@caesarvalorvmsheevpalpatin8755 Possibly but there were quite a few notable rather high ranking Nazis with Polish roots. One that comes to mind is Otto Skorzeny. I'm guessing they were willing to make exceptions. They also were keen on basically abducting "aryan looking children thought to have German heritage" from Eastern Europe and raising them as Germans despite the likelihood of those children having non-German roots being rather high.

The gameplay is fine. Just no chapter selection though. The story is still cringe at most, unfortunately. Just feels like Robert Rodriguez's worst works like Spy Kids and The Book of Boba Fett, which aged or will age like milk.

@@Hsaelt How is this leftist propaganda? If your idea of the right that you follow says a scene where people celebrate a holiday together is "propaganda" you are part of the reason the right is viewed as prejudice, racist monsters, when I know for a fact most are not. Based on the story in the game this video is talking about a cutscene like this would fit in perfectly with the tone this game was going for. I just presented the idea from the point of view of a writer who thought it would be a touching scene.

why would he embrace a heritage that he has almost nothing to do with? Is it because he's a biological jew and therefore should represent broader jewish values regardless of if he personally cares about them or not? It just seems strange to me to complain about his character not being "jewish" enough. Am not saying a representation of these traits shouldn't occur in media but I don't get why complain that they didn't attribute them to BJ specifically. As if being a biological jew made it more inherent in his nature to have expressed these qualities. It just gives off those they didn't make this black character "black enough" vibes

@@moonie1825 remember when they made a polish character into a jewish one because of the left wing agenda in media? Oh wait...

@@moonie1825 Thing is, nothing says where his religious beliefs lie. Unless a writer specifically says that he's jewish, christian, atheist, etc. that specific part of his character remains a blank slate. A writer could say that religiously he does beleive in judaism and it wouldn't conflict with any other part of his character thus far.

Brasil porra aeeee kkk eae mano não esperava um br

Brazil is a very multicultural in its roots but I understand given I've travelled there and all my friends from there.

Taxonomy is a social construct. Species is a social construct. Can the average person tell 2 subspecies of brown bear apart? No. Do zoologists still use subspecies when defining them? Yes. Same goes for race. You are mixed race.

@Jean Sanchez The difference phenotypically between 2 brown bears is less than the observable difference between any 2 races lol. There are biological differences, not just on the genotype level, but also our entire phenotype is different. Mixed race people can be classified as a new race as they look phenotypically distinct from other groups. I can tell someone is Hispanic by looking at them.

@Jean Sanchez Latino is just an ethnicity. I didn't use the term latino I used the term Hispanic. Hispanic is more of a racial term but it hasn't been adopted as such. When someone says they're Hispanic they typically will be a mestizo or Castizo looking person. I don't think black latinos identify as Hispanic. Hispanic has a more phenotypic standard that the term latino.

i think, from that same perspective, that it can be very refreshing to electively shed the concept of the labels humans made just to hurt each other all these years. i'm american, white with black. very pale so i was left out of a lot of black family habits out of it looking strange to my peers and strangers. and sometimes, after long enough, it can even just... feel better to say "yeah, youre right, fine... im not black. guess im not exactly white either, but i'll say whatever helps people sleep at night and stop saying something about it" ya know? lol

@@colorblockpoprocks6973Depends. Because that is also you accepting British-American culture as the superior culture.

The reason they didn't is because it it a shooter game. If the game had a segment of BJ reading the Torah or something, all the shooter-fanboys would just quit out of boredom. People who play shooter games typically aren't fans of depth and nuance.

@@TomYawns Show me the gene that makes a person a member of a specific race, then. Prove to me that all members of said race and only members of said race have said gene. Yes, we come in a range of shapes, sizes, and colorations, and some of our genetic predispositions to things like certain diseases are indirectly linked via ancestry to membership in an ethnic group. However, when we say "race is a social construct," what we mean isn't that it doesn't exist, but that the cultural associations (stereotypes, as you say) are arbitrary and don't actually meaningfully follow from the genes or, more precisely, the aggregate expression of many genes which collectively form the "[race]-passing" visage. The actually important things about race are social, and the social aspects are all in our heads, not our genomes. You'll never see me equating "in one's head" with "not real or meaningful," but the distinction needs to be drawn even though-in fact because- both sides of the line are worthy of examination.

I can understand that. I will say that both Wolfenstein: The New Order and Wolfenstein: The New Colossus are 100% worth a purchase. They're incredible games, Jacob mentions in the video how all of the characters are minorities, groups that the Nazis and the US persecuted, and the game addresses that directly many times. I would say it's a focal point of the stories. While the first game (The New Colossus) doesn't grapple much with the legacy of hate in the US, the sequel (The New Order) digs deep into that. Both are amazing games from a story perspective, and also excellent from a gameplay perspective. If you like FPS games, I cannot recommend them enough. You will definitely feel like you got your money's worth in both cases. I haven't played Youngblood yet, so I can't comment on it, but the first two are definitely among the best games to come out in the past few years.
