To take your post seriously, I’d have to believe you actually read the posts within this thread and took the presented evidence seriously. Having just reviewed the first several pages of this thread, I don’t see evidence of that.My apologies for the drive-by posting.
I stumbled on this thread and was appalled to learn that one of my favorite game designers / world-builders may be a Nazi. As a Jew this offended me greatly. But, then I decided to engage in some critical thinking.
1. MAR Barker spent his life fantasizing and writing about a science-fantasy world, much more advanced than ours, of 'non-white' people. This doesn't sound like a person who subscribes to white supremacy ideology.
2. Barker converted from Christianity (a primarily 'white' religion) to Islam (a primarily 'non-white' religion).
3. Writing about Nazis does not make someone a nazi. Are the writers of 'The Man in the Castle' aired on Amazon Prime nazi sympathizers since they envision a world where the nazis won?
The irony of this thread is that the nazis power base was based on group think and toeing the party line regardless of what critical thinking would otherwise indicate. You guys can do better.
I'll immediately remove my account. But, please consider my words before posthumously destroying someone without evidence.
Right here:I appreciate the reply.
I was not aware of Barker's association with the Journal of Historical Review. If you can provide a source as evidence, I'll gladly change my mind.
Don't worry about it. Never meet your heroes, you know?Wow, I certainly stand corrected. I so wanted it to not be true, but it appears it is. Thanks for setting me straight.

Like, you could have checked his Wikipedia page before coming here to "set us straight". Click the little blue numbers to get the actual sources. And again, there is nothing "critical" about thinking non-white people or white people who idolize non-white people cannot be fascists. I mean, good god, half the junior fascists of the world idolize an imagined Japan for god's sake.
Don't be so quick to leave. Stay, have a look around. ENWorld is one of the nicer places on the net to have a discussion with a vast range of different people.Wow, I certainly stand corrected. I so wanted it to not be true, but it appears it is. Thanks for setting me straight.
