Many cultures have decades of pop-culture anti-nazi media. What are some of your favorite video games, movies, music, tv shows, books, and other media that are anti-nazi?

I'm partial to Nazi Punks, Fuck Off, originally by the Dead Kennedys. Napalm Death does a great version, too, if you're more into grindcore

Inglourious Basterds is pretty good

Jojo Rabbit. Telling a story from the perspective of a child who has only known propaganda for his whole life makes the film an important reminder of how this all happened, how real human beings can end up going along with horrible things.

Not sure if this counts, but:

The TV series The Man in the High Castle depicts an alt-universe where the nazi won WW2 (and obviously nazis are the antagonists). It isn't historically plausiable (just like most works of fiction), but it is interesting to see just how fucked up that world looks like.

Also if you don't feel like paying for a subscription and funding big corporate media in this political climate, you can visit the community [email protected] for alternative 😉 sources of obtaining content 🏴‍☠️ (community is blocked by lemmy.world instance)

Hard to beat the Wolfenstein games and the Indiana Jones movies.

Indy is all about showing us how to properly handle Nazis.

[–] friend_of_satan 5 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

Those were two of the first ones I thought of too. I love The Last Crusade.

I'm an Australian, but I have watched 'don't be a sucker' so many times.

Such solid GOOD propaganda. Easy to find for those who have not seen it

I wanna say The Producers. So many works trying to demonise Nazis falls into the trap that demons are kinda cool, but Springtime for Hitler is so ridiculous that no matter how pro-Nazi the lyrics are, you can only laugh at them. And watching Hitler throw it back is just peak theatre.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 4 hours ago

And remember: They were trying to make a flop by making it about Hitler, yet it became a hit. In a way, it kind of parallels reality.

Downfall.

Anti-Nazi is not supposed to be funny, not in today's politics. Seeing Nazism for what it is and how Nazis saw themselves is best IMO.

During all this Elon Musk BS I suddenly wanted to watch Kung Fury.

Not exactly Nazis (in a strict aesthetic point of view; ideologically no different), but I've been having fun seeking out Klansmen in RDR2 and disrupting their gatherings.

[–] friend_of_satan 4 points 4 hours ago (1 children)

That was one thing I always did too! Been thinking about replaying that one. The violence in that game was a bit hard for me to deal with in a lot of cases, but I never had any personal conflicts deciding how to deal with klansmen.

I don't like Micah or Strauss, personally. Most of the other fights you have in the game are against racists, rapists or criminal underlords. But those two have missions where you're killing or beating up regular townspeople because Micah is a psychopath and Strauss is a heartless loan shark. I've yet to finish the story mode, but I've been wanting to put a bullet in Micah since I had to break him out of jail in Strawberry. Already kicked Strauss out of camp and that felt really good.

[–] friend_of_satan 5 points 3 hours ago* (last edited 3 hours ago)

I seriously sat there in Strawberry thinking "I can't believe I'm breaking this guy out. I'd rather just let him die." I think I restarted that mission several times looking for an alternate story.

I hereby define the Bren Gun as a type of media. Traditionally very anti-nazi.

I'd add the Sten Mk II S. :)
